The long-awaited Samsung mixed reality headset, formerly known by its codename Project Moohan, finally made its debut this year as the Samsung Galaxy XR.

That is, if you live in the U.S. or South Korea. Samsung fans outside of those two countries are still waiting for the Galaxy XR. Fortunately, it doesn't look like they'll be waiting too much longer after the U.S. and South Korea's Oct. 21 Galaxy XR launch date.

According to a new report from SamMobile, Samsung appears to be readying a 2026 launch for the Galaxy XR in Canada, France, Germany, and the UK. In addition, that list has yet to be finalized, with more countries potentially being added to the 2026 launch list soon.

Samsung appears to be in favor of slowly rolling out the Galaxy XR in international markets as opposed to a wider global rollout. 

The Galaxy VR is basically Samsung's answer to the Meta Quest headset and the Apple Vision Pro. Samsung has priced the Galaxy VR at $1,799.99 in the U.S., placing the device squarely in the middle of both of its competitors' prices. Meta has the more affordable device, starting at $299.99. While the Galaxy VR may look expensive when compared to the Meta Quest, it looks like the affordable option when put up against the $3,499 Apple Vision Pro.

It's currently unclear where Samsung will price its headset for the upcoming international markets but it will likely be similarly priced based on Samsung's pricing in the U.S. and South Korea markets.

So, the wait won't be much longer, readers in Canada and the EU. Soon, you'll be able to get hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy XR just like Mashable did for our Galaxy XR review.
