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.

Google has rolled out new AI-powered creative tools across the Middle East and North Africa, including a photo-to-video feature in Gemini and the regional launch of its AI filmmaking platform, Flow.

The photo-to-video tool is available to Gemini Advanced users on Pro and Ultra plans. It allows users to transform still images into animated, sound-enhanced video clips up to eight seconds long. To use the feature, users select “Videos” from the Gemini prompt menu, upload an image, and describe the desired animation and audio. The tool then generates a short video that can be shared or downloaded directly from the interface.

Designed to animate static moments, the feature supports a range of creative use cases — from bringing illustrations and paintings to life to adding movement to everyday scenes or natural landscapes.

Alongside this, Google is launching Flow: a more advanced platform for AI-assisted video creation. Built on Google’s Veo, Imagen, and Gemini models, Flow is designed for both professional filmmakers and beginners looking to build scenes, experiment with visuals, or explore new storytelling formats.

Flow includes tools such as:

  • Camera Controls for setting motion paths, angles, and perspectives.
  • Scenebuilder for extending or linking shots with smooth transitions and consistent subjects.
  • Asset Management for organizing prompts and generated material.

Flow is now accessible in Arabic and across MENA markets. Google reports over 40 million Veo 3 video generations have been made across Gemini and Flow in the past seven weeks alone. All content includes a visible AI watermark and an invisible SynthID marker to ensure traceability.

Both Flow and Gemini’s photo-to-video tools are available through Google’s subscription-based AI tiers.
