Reporting from 1 source: GameBusiness.jp.
SanDisk announced on October 19 that it is the exclusive storage partner for Meta VR Glasses, the VR device Meta plans to release in spring 2027. SanDisk will offer certified microSD Express cards and USB-C flash drives through Meta's "Made for Meta" accessory program. The glasses carry 128GB of internal storage and support microSD expansion up to 1TB. SanDisk says capacity lineups, prices, release dates and Japan availability are not yet disclosed.
The arrangement covers two product types: microSD Express cards and USB-C flash drives, both tested against Meta's quality standards before receiving "Made for Meta" certification. SanDisk says it designed the products in collaboration with Meta, and that they will be sold sequentially in markets where the glasses launch.
The device splits into a glasses unit with displays and sensors and an external compute pack holding the processor, battery and storage. Meta plans compatibility with apps from the existing Quest series and support for 3D movies.
SanDisk did not announce capacity lineups, prices or release dates, and Japan availability timing is unspecified.
