Meta says it funded over 100 VR & mixed reality titles that shipped in 2024, as well as over 200 currently in "active production". [...] These figures were revealed today at GDC 2025 by Meta's Director of Games Chris Pruett, during a talk where he also claimed that opening the store and heavily pushing Horizon Worlds did not meaningfully affect store spending, and revealed that monthly headset usage increased 30% in 2024.

The Quest 2 and 3 finally are a properly viable platform that millions of people use, but it still feels like Meta doesn't want it to be a "Microsoft's Xbox" sort of situation, they still want it to be a "Google's Android" situation instead. It's been an utterly bizarre time watching all of this occur in real time as someone that bought her first headset in 2017; their priorities have always been completely misaligned with the achievements they're actually making.

I have the Quest 2 before the rebrand. It was great, loved playing bowling with it, but they really do need move beyond being Daydream on steroids.
