The Virtual Reality industry has exploded in recent years, earning an estimated $2.9 billion in 2021 alone, according to Statista. Meta Quest just held a gaming showcase talking about the hottest games coming to the VR device this year.
There were a lot of popular industries shown, from Ghostbusters to The Walking Dead. Many fan favorites are getting sequels, and brand new games no one expected are coming to the Meta Quest. The showcase made a point in a slide before the showcase to say that all the games shown would be released this year.
