LG and Meta's VR partnership, announced in February, is now in jeopardy according to recent reports. Korean outlets have suggested that the release of the LG and Meta headset has been delayed until 2027 or the partnership has ended altogether. LG denied these rumors, stating they are still collaborating with Meta in various areas, but did not mention VR or XR specifically.Meta has not commented on the situation yet. Reports indicate that LG and Meta may not see eye to eye, with LG potentially looking to partner with other US companies like Amazon. Meta's Horizon OS announcement also hinted at collaborations with other companies, excluding LG.The uncertainty surrounding the LG and Meta partnership is disappointing, especially given the excitement around their VR collaboration. Despite the potential breakup, the XR era is still promising with new hardware options from Apple, Google, Samsung, Sony, and potentially LG and Amazon.While the fate of the LG and Meta collaboration remains unclear, the competition in the XR market is heating up, offering consumers more choices for VR headsets in the future.
