Virtual reality hardware market developments

Meta and Pimax have introduced new hardware, including the Meta Quest 3, a standalone mixed-reality headset with 512 GB of storage, and the Pimax Crystal Pro, a high-end PC-VR headset featuring dual QLED panels.

As of the second quarter of 2026, Meta maintains a 54% share of the virtual reality market. While the Quest 3 remains a leading high-end device, other options such as the PlayStation VR2 provide alternatives, though they require a PlayStation 5 or gaming PC to operate.
