Meta Ray-Ban glasses were first released in October 2023 , when Meta and Ray-Ban launched the second-generation smart glasses after the original Ray- Ban Stories line. The current Ray-Ban Meta lineup has since been updated with newer styles and features.

Release context

  • Original collaboration: Ray-Ban Stories launched earlier, in 2021.
  • Ray-Ban Meta (second gen): released in October 2023.
  • Later refreshes: Meta added new prescription-focused styles and color options in 2026.

Quick note

If you meant the newest Meta-branded glasses that are not Ray-Ban labeled, those were announced in June 2026.
