Google no longer sells headsets, but its app store is preparing for them

Will we see what’s behind Google after its mysterious AR/VR deals with companies like Qualcomm and Samsung? Or maybe he’ll finally add his Google Play Store to Meta’s Quest, as Meta once asked?

Or perhaps Google just changed its mind about hosting the Play Store on Meta Quest headsets. Meta pressured Google to do just that. earlier this yearmonths after one of his leaders revealed that Google refused to allow Quest users to sideload regular Android apps to the headset.

Or maybe—just maybe—we’ll see the return of Google Cardboard soon. Hey guy can dreamcan’t?
