Considering the new headset will include AR experiences, it is rumored to be very expensive at launch. With the price hike on the Meta Quest 2 earlier this year, the future of virtual reality is becoming rather pricey. Although the new headset will likely be the star of the event, we will also likely be hearing about new VR games coming to the system.
