During his keynote today during the Oculus Connect 5 event, chief technology officer John Carmack said that he believes that the upcoming Oculus Quest headset will have to compete with Switch, Nintendo’s hit home console/portable system.

Oculus Quest is coming out this spring, and it will serve as a middle ground between the Oculus Rift and Oculus Go. Like the Go, it will be a standalone, wireless product that does not require a PC. But it will be powerful enough to run more games than the Go, which mostly supports less interactive entertainment experiences.
