Microsoft, Meta Reveal Limited Edition Meta Quest VR Headset With Game Pass Bundle
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) have announced a collaboration to produce a limited edition Meta Quest VR headset "inspired by Xbox."
微軟公司（納斯達克股票代碼：MSFT）和Meta Platforms Inc（納斯達克股票代碼：META）宣佈合作生產 “受Xbox啓發” 的限量版Meta Quest VR頭戴式耳機。
Although specific details remain scarce, it appears to be a customized version of the Meta Quest 3, bundled with an Xbox controller.
儘管具體細節仍然很少，但它似乎是Meta Quest 3的定製版本，與Xbox控制器捆綁在一起。
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, confirmed the partnership, stating: "We're working together again [with Microsoft] to create a limited-edition Meta Quest, inspired by Xbox."
Meta首席執行官馬克·扎克伯格證實了這一合作伙伴關係，他說：“我們（與微軟）再次合作，以創建受Xbox啓發的限量版Meta Quest。”
This move aligns with Meta's strategy to open its operating system, which powers Quest VR headsets, to third-party hardware manufacturers.
此舉符合Meta向第三方硬件製造商開放其操作系統的戰略，該操作系統爲Quest VR頭戴式耳機提供支持。
While companies like Asustek Computer (OTC:ASUUY) and Lenovo Group Ltd (OTC:LNVGY) are developing dedicated headsets running Meta's Horizon OS, Microsoft's involvement seems confined to this limited edition collaboration, reminiscent of their previous special edition Xbox consoles.
雖然華碩電腦（場外交易代碼：ASUUY）和聯想集團有限公司（場外交易代碼：LNVGY）等公司正在開發運行Meta的Horizon OS的專用頭戴式耳機，但微軟的參與似乎僅限於這種限量版合作，讓人想起他們之前的特別版Xbox遊戲機。
Zuckerberg revealed in an Instagram post that the special edition headset will come preloaded with Xbox controllers and Game Pass, offering immediate access to gaming on a large screen from anywhere.
扎克伯格在Instagram帖子中透露，這款特別版耳機將預裝Xbox控制器和Game Pass，可隨時隨地在大屏幕上即時訪問遊戲。
Microsoft's involvement in VR has been inconsistent, with previous endeavors like Project Fortaleza never materializing. Although the Xbox One X was positioned as VR-capable, it never received VR headset support, even though it was shipped with Oculus Rift-compatible controllers.
微軟對虛擬現實的參與一直前後矛盾，像福塔雷薩計劃這樣的先前努力從未實現。儘管Xbox One X被定位爲支持虛擬現實，但它從未獲得過虛擬現實頭戴設備的支持，儘管它附帶了兼容Oculus Rift的控制器。
Despite Microsoft's earlier failures in VR, the company has shifted its focus towards closer collaboration with Meta. This partnership has resulted in practical integrations, such as allowing Quest users to access Microsoft Office applications in VR and bringing Xbox Cloud Gaming to Quest headsets.
儘管微軟早些時候在虛擬現實領域失敗了，但該公司已將重點轉移到與Meta進行更緊密的合作上。這種合作帶來了實際的整合，例如允許Quest用戶在虛擬現實中訪問微軟Office應用程序，以及將Xbox雲遊戲引入Quest頭戴式耳機。
