Summary
Early 2027 is the current release window for Meta’s mixed-reality headset Project Phoenix, a premium Quest Pro successor aimed at spatial computing rather than core VR gaming.
Under 110 grams on the head, Phoenix shifts computing and battery functions to an external puck, using a glasses-style design to improve comfort for longer work sessions.
Pancake lenses, high-resolution pass-through cameras, eye tracking and hand-gesture controls are intended to support mixed-reality productivity without relying on physical controllers.
Horizon OS will tie the device into the Quest ecosystem, supporting existing apps while adding mixed-reality features; prescription-lens support is also planned.
Meta is expected to unveil Phoenix at Meta Connect 2026, while the separate Quest 4 is positioned for a later 2027 launch focused more on gaming.
