Say Hello to the Xbox Quest 3S!

Big news in the gaming world! Microsoft and Meta have joined forces to unveil the highly anticipated Xbox-branded Meta Quest 3S VR headset. Set at a price of $399.99, this sleek device is more than just a pretty face—it’s packed with features that will change the way you game.

What’s Inside the Box?

The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition comes with an eye-catching custom design, combining deep carbon black and vibrant green aesthetics. Inside the box, you’ll find an Xbox wireless controller, matching Touch Plus controllers, and a generous three-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. That’s a combo you don’t want to miss!

A Custom Set-Up Like No Other!

During my week with the Quest 3S, I was pleasantly surprised to see how Meta has refined the setup process to reflect its Xbox styling. It’s even pre-paired with the Xbox controller and opens right into the Xbox app, enhancing the gaming experience right from the start.

Game Anywhere, Anytime!

With the Xbox app on the Quest 3S, gamers can stream their beloved games via Xbox Cloud Gaming. While a Game Pass Ultimate subscription is required, the inclusion of a three-month code for new and existing subscribers makes it easier than ever to dive into your favorite titles.

Immersive Gameplay Awaits

The Quest 3S offers versatility with a massive 26-foot virtual display for exhilarating gameplay. You can adjust the display to your preference, whether you want a curved or flat screen. However, be aware that while the immersion is exciting, issues like low bitrate and resolution can slightly hinder visuals—especially in fast-paced games like Forza Horizon 5.

Distinctive Design Meets Functionality

Visually, the headset is a stunning blend of black and green, with subtle Xbox branding that sets it apart from standard VR gear. The design extends to the accessories, ensuring everything matches beautifully and enhances your overall gaming aesthetic.

The Future of Gaming?

Microsoft’s strategic push to market this device as an "Xbox" reflects their vision of a gaming ecosystem where even lightweight devices can carry the Xbox name. Imagine gaming while traveling without the bulk of a console! However, the ongoing $19.99 monthly fee for Game Pass Ultimate could be a barrier for some. The gaming community is hopeful for a more affordable cloud gaming option in the future.

Get Yours Today—Before They're Gone!

Launching today in the US and UK, the Quest 3S Xbox Edition is available through Meta's online store, Best Buy, Argos, and EE. But hurry—according to Lori Wright from Microsoft, “Quantities are extremely limited. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.” Don't miss your chance to grab this groundbreaking headset and elevate your gaming experience!
