It doesn’t matter to me, because I call it the Oculus Quest.
I’m not alone.
Plenty of my friends boughtQuest 2headsets in the past year.
They call it the Oculus Quest.
But now, midstream… an attempt at a name change.
That throw in of move makes no sense at all.

I mean, I get it.Facebook becomes Meta, because of themetaverse.
Maybe Facebook (Meta) sees Quest as that primary product name now.
That won’t stop people from calling it Oculus anytime soon, though.
As Facebook absorbed more of Oculus, maybe this was inevitable.
Many of Oculus' original executives and founders left a long time ago.
But for its just-starting-to-get-more-popular VR headsets, it’s the weirdest pivot ever.
It’s already hard enough to explain what the hell a metaverse is.
Like, oh, the Oculus Quest 2.
But I’ll also sometimes say Oculus Quest 2.
And in parentheses, Meta.
Like Facebook (Meta).
I’m not ready to rename it, and neither is my phone.
Oculus isn’t the most amazing name in the world, but at least it has a reference point.
At some point, Meta might, too.
I’m just trying to help people.
Why change the name of something that’s already here?
When that hardware arrives, I’ll re-evaluate.
Until then, enjoy your Oculus Quest 2.
