The company announced Quest Pro at Meta Connect 2022, so it’s likely we’ll learn more about the new VR headset at Meta’s next Connect conference in fall 2023. So, with Meta’s new VR headset arriving sometime this year, it’s possible Roblox could be the launch title. However, Meta also confirmed in its earnings call that a consumer-grade follow-up to Quest 2 is coming in 2023. Roblox and Meta both reported disappointing earnings results, with Roblox experiencing a loss of $297.8 million and Meta’s virtual reality division losing $3.67 billion. If the rumor turns out to be true, it will likely satisfy investors as well.

If Roblox were to get support for Meta Quest, it would be a significant move for both companies. The virtual world gaming platform isn’t available as a Quest game. While Roblox is already compatible with various VR headsets, including Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, gamers currently need to connect their PC to a VR headset to play. During an investor call in 2021, CEO and co-founder of Roblox, Dave Baszucki, said that Quest makes “perfect sense for Roblox,” which was a hint that the company had VR plans for the future.

This isn’t the first time someone has mentioned Roblox coming to Quest. Meta was not immediately available to comment. Roblox declined to comment to TechCrunch. According to The Verge’s Command Line newsletter, sources say that Roblox might be planning to come to Quest in late 2023. It appears that Roblox, a major player in the metaverse space, could be getting its moment to shine on Meta’s virtual reality headset.
