FULL STORY
======================================================================

Meta has set a date for Meta Connect 2024  its annual press conference where 
the company showcases the technology its Reality Labs division has been 
working on  and it might be where we finally find out what the leaked Meta 
Quest 3S VR headset is all about. 

Meta Connect is where both the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest Pro were unveiled, 
and Meta supports the idea that we might see new Quest hardware. The event 
which is happening from September 25 to 26  will be where it provides updates 
on its work across AI plus a look at whats next for Quest. 

Given that Metas own store has leaked the Quest 3S its all but certain itll 
be shown off at Metas next Connect  though well have to tune in to know for 
sure. 

Alongside the Quest 3S we expect Meta will also showcase new Meta AI features 
for its Ray-Ban smart glasses , and it may even showcase AI features coming 
to its VR headsets. If were lucky, Meta might also give us a teaser for the 
AR glasses its working on . Where is the Quest Gaming Showcase? 

We had originally predicted that Meta would instead reveal the Quest 3S as 
part of its Quest Gaming Showcase. However, it has yet to announce if or when 
this years iteration will take place. Given that it has jumped straight to 
announcing Connect in September, were feeling a lot less confident that the 
Gaming Showcase will happen this year, at least in the form we're used to.

Instead, the annual gaming event appears to have morphed into a 
three-month-long Summer Fest 2024, with announcements being spread out across 
various blog posts and Summer Games Fest showcases. 

As part of its Summer Fest, Meta has announced a Summer Sale, so you can pick 
up the best VR games and apps for cheap. And with major updates coming to 
titles such as a Phoenix Royale mode for Population: One , there will be free 
weekends so you can enjoy various VR games without spending a dime. 

At the time of writing, the schedule is: Breachers & Racket Club  July 12, 
3:00 pm to July 15, 1:00 am Dungeons Of Eternity & Real VR Fishing  July 19, 
3:00 pm to July 22, 1:00 am Premium Bowling & Guardians Frontlin e  July 26, 
3:00 pm to July 29, 1:00 am Golf 5 & iB Cricket  August 2, 3:00 pm to August 
5, 1:00 am Smash Drums & IRONSTRIKE  August 9, 3:00 pm to August 12, 1:00 am 

All of the times will be for your local region  so if youre in the UK the 
start time is 3pm BST, in New York itll be 3pm ET. You might also like Meta
