Meta’s Quest Gaming Showcase 2 Is Scheduled For June 1st
The 40-minute VR gaming event will be streamed live on Facebook, YouTube, Horizon Worlds, and Twitch.
Meta has announced a date of June 1st for its now annual Quest Gaming Showcase. The 40-minute event will take place at 1PM Eastern time and will be streamed live across Facebook, YouTube, Horizon Worlds, and Twitch.
Viewers can expect to see new games and gameplay footage being revealed, along with a pre-show (13:45 ET) featuring debut trailers and title updates. After the main event, Meta will host a “deep-dive” talk with game developers.
The Quest Gaming Showcase comes at an important time for Mark Zuckerberg’s company as it attempts to pivot to the Metaverse. The social media giant recently purchased Within, creators of the VR fitness game Supernatural, and has lowered the price of its Quest Pro device to $999 to encourage adoption.

Despite these aggressive strategies, the company’s Reality Labs unit is still losing billions of dollars annually, so the event will be vital to keep sales of VR headsets flowing.

EDT&Partners Buys eFlow To Bolster AI Learning Push
The Middle East-founded platform is adding engagement tech as the consultancy firm widens into regulated workforce training.
EDT&Partners has bought eFlow, an AI conversational learning platform founded in the Middle East, for an undisclosed sum. The deal marks a push by the consultancy business to tighten control over last-mile learning across education and workplace training.
EDT&Partners, long rooted in universities and public-sector work, is targeting a broader “knowledge economy” in which learning is continuous and embeds into daily workflows. Clients in regulated industries are pressing for digital learning that is both responsible and actually completed — not just designed.
“Education remains at the core of who we are,” said Pablo Langa, founder and managing partner at EDT&Partners. “At the same time, we are intentionally expanding into the broader learning ecosystem, particularly in highly regulated industries”.
eFlow delivers courses through chat-style interactions, using AI prompts to keep students and employees on task. The premise is blunt: engagement is the bottleneck in digital learning, and completion rates lag unless the platform actively supports the learner.
The acquisition folds eFlow’s engagement layer into EDT&Partners’ strategic and technology work, including Lecture, the firm’s open-source GenAI framework. The pitch is that institutions and employers can launch programs that people actually finish.
Co-founder Bassel Jalaleddine said the deal gives eFlow “the strategic and operational backbone needed to scale responsibly,” and stressed the platform’s intent to support educators rather than replace them.

The move also strengthens EDT&Partners’ footing in the Middle East. The region is pushing workforce reform and talent development, and low-bandwidth, messaging-based learning travels well across emerging markets and community training programs.
eFlow’s co-founders, Jalaleddine and Samer Bawab, will join EDT&Partners as senior leaders. Both brands will run in parallel for now while teams and platforms are aligned ahead of industry events next year, including Bett 2026 in London.
The deal underlines demand for tools that move beyond content libraries toward engagement and completion — a direction echoed in corporate training budgets and government skills agendas.
