I thought this will be 20% like we heard a few weeks ago. I am still waiting on the news that they are killing the quest headset though. It’s going to happen when mark finally lets go of this anchor

I think the Reuters article that preceded this said it would be 10% on 5/20, with more to come throughout 2026

That would be sad. I've never owned a Quest, but the technology is starting to be very impressive. I would consider buying a new generation one.

I wouldn’t consider this the end of the matter, and given the past few years experience with Meta yet more layoffs are absolutely possible.

Related to the quest, the horizon worlds team was largely let go (around 1000 employees) earlier in the year and are not part of this latest 10 percent etc.
