Meta's developer blog says the Store puts hand-tracked titles first for VR Glasses owners without controllers. The v207 SDKs and IWSDK 1.0 are out now, and a $1M competition requires hands-only play.

Flux swaps Beat Saber's sabers for hand tracking in spring 2027 with 35 songs, a rebuilt campaign and the game's first rewards system. What losing the saber's rumble actually costs a rhythm game.

iFixit's Steam Frame teardown finds replaceable foams, a modular nose bridge and magnetically mounted lens stacks, then a glued 20.9 Wh battery it will not stock and a fan buried behind the optics.

Meta says Meta VR Glasses will carry more than 100 live immersive sports events a year with MLB, NBC Sports, TNT Sports and UFC, plus ESPN college football on Quest this fall. Apple aired ten live immersive games, six Lakers and four Friday Night Baseball, then cut its immersive video team.

Connect split Meta's glasses into no camera (Ray-Ban Meta Audio, $349), camera (Gen 3, $449) and display (Ray-Ban Display, now in five more countries). The Wearables Device Access Toolkit supports none of the new pairs yet, and publishing is still closed with 2026 almost over.

Meta's Project Phoenix is now Meta VR Glasses: $1,299.99, on sale spring 2027, about 100 grams on the face with a roughly 300-gram compute puck in the pocket. Controllers are sold separately, and the price lands $300 above the under-$1,000 target the Wall Street Journal reported in 2025.

Twilight's End launched today at $9.99, only the host needs to own it, and Battlemarked landed on Xbox the same morning. Every screenshot on its Steam page shows the flat version, and both platforms it has added since launch have no headset.

Three weeks into the job, Apple's new CEO told Canal+'s Clique that Vision Pro is "the early days of a long journey" and named surgeons as its growth case. He did not mention the successor Apple reportedly cut, the August layoffs, or glasses.

CM Immersive pushed the PS VR2 port back two weeks, from this Thursday to October 8, after Sony's final certification stage flagged issues. Two-player co-op still lands later, and the headset itself is out of stock in the US.

SteamOS 0.3.0 is the Steam Frame's first public update since the September 14 launch. Twelve lines, led by substantially faster charging while the headset sleeps, a fix for the garbled microphone bug, and a Playable tier rule that no longer demands 1440p.

Mixed Reality Link 26.9105.9070.0 gives Windows three new capture devices from a Quest 3 or 3S: the headset microphone, a passthrough camera, and a Meta avatar camera that Horizon OS already offered its own Android apps. It lands as support for the last Windows Mixed Reality headsets runs out in November.

Meta's Connect 2026 keynote is Wednesday. A line-by-line check of the last three keynotes: five products with a price and a date all shipped on schedule, Augments is three years late, and the Ray-Ban Display expansion Meta promised four countries never happened.

Within hours of Valve's reservation emails, eBay sellers were asking $1,750 for a 256GB Steam Frame reservation and $2,000 or more for the 1TB. Valve's program terms say the right to buy cannot be transferred, and European buyers have a second scam to watch for once units ship.

Asgard's Wrath 2 came free with the Quest 3 in 2023 and Batman: Arkham Shadow with the Quest 3S in 2024. Meta has since closed Sanzaru and Twisted Pixel, Camouflaj no longer makes VR games, and the Connect 2026 agenda does not list a single Quest game.

Flat2VR Spark's port of Strange Scaffold's revenge shooter reached Steam on September 17 at $22.99. The no-reload gunplay made the jump to VR. The tree climbing and the story interludes did not, and without its rank gates the campaign runs under an hour.

Sony's US store lists PlayStation VR2 at $399 and "Currently Unavailable." Best Buy's only new units are Marketplace bundles from $855.20, Walmart shows pre-owned headsets, and Sony's UK store still sells it at £399.99. Sony has not said why.

Valve ran the Steam Frame draw and a community tracker has fewer than half of respondents reserved, eBay filled up with fake reservation screenshots, Snap gave Specs a Verizon bundle but no ship date, visionOS 27 shipped the same Monday as the Frame, and Connect is Wednesday.

Snap's September 16 enterprise post names Salesforce, AWS, NVIDIA, Trifork and Hololight, but no customer, no enterprise price and no device management vendor. The firmer commitment went to Verizon: a $2,395 cellular bundle with 36-month financing.
