📢 GDC 2026 was epic this year! 🎉
Honestly, this event left me with so many great memories. I made incredible new friends, caught up with amazing existing ones, listened to developer feedback, and learned about a lot of exciting new games.
It was also humbling to see so many people enjoy my part of the AI tools GDC talk. I truly appreciated all the positive feedback around our new MCP tools, and I also value hearing where we can improve, getting that kind of feedback in person is always incredibly helpful.
Personally, I’m deeply excited about 2026 and beyond. I was moved to now be under @c_pruett leadership, and listening to his talk was truly inspiring. Hearing about where we’re heading with VR really energizes me. I can also confirm that we are heavily invested in VR this year, yes we’re also working on new hardware, just like he mentioned during his talk.
Another area we’re heavily investing in is community and tools. On the community side, through Meta Horizon Start and the efforts I’ll personally be leading this year such as running the Meta Horizon Insiders program, and you will see me at a variety of events and supporting developers through hackathons.
My biggest takeaway is this, this is the best moment to build for VR/MR. It may sound biased because I work at Meta, but it’s honestly not. I work very closely with our engineering teams, and I’ve seen firsthand how exponentially more productive you can be when using our AI tools. Because of that, I expect many developers to realize this and start building games at a much faster pace this year.
I’ll be building as well. I’m excited to join this journey with all of you because I truly believe in XR and I know how talented this community is.
Thank you ❤️ to everyone who came to GDC. I truly appreciate every single one of you building for Quest. 🙏🚀
