Oculus Quest 2 update adds Meta logo to VR headset start-up screen
The Oculus Quest 2 is now officially known as the Meta Quest, but remnants of the retired brand are still tethered to the VR headset. While giving existing stock a physical Meta makeover is impractical, the company is reportedly replacing the device's Oculus boot screen logo as part of its metaverse rebranding efforts.
Spotted by UploadVR, the subtle change will arrive alongside system software version 38, and it'll switch out Oculus' iconic oval emblem with Meta's weird-shaped infinity symbol. As with all Oculus Quest 2 updates, the rollout will take place over the next couple of months, meaning the device's digital branding won't be instantly consigned to history.
Longstanding fans of Oculus may be in for a downbeat surprise next time they don their virtual reality goggles, but the decisive update hammers home the fact that the VR brand is no more. Sure, if you buy a Quest 2 right now, it'll still feature the old moniker, but a recent Superbowl ad suggests that future production runs will arrive bearing Meta's new markings.
