After a recent leak, the official reveal of the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition VR headset has arrived. This marks the first limited-edition headset from Meta, and it’s partnered with Xbox, celebrating the ongoing collaboration between the two companies.
Lori Wright, corporate vice president of gaming partnerships and development at Microsoft, highlighted the expansion of Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) on Meta Quest headsets in an Xbox Wire post.
The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is available now for $399.99 USD, featuring a 128GB storage option. The headset comes in two eye-catching colors-Xbox Carbon Black and Velocity Green. Alongside the headset, you get matching Touch Plus controllers and a limited edition Xbox controller. Plus, it includes an elite strap, three months of Meta Horizon+, and three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Wright expressed excitement about the partnership, saying, “We’re proud of what we’ve built together with Meta, and we can’t wait for you to dive into everything the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition has to offer.”
This headset offers an immersive VR experience whether you’re streaming titles from Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or exploring virtual worlds. However, for Xbox fans hoping to elevate their gaming with cloud streaming, the device’s full potential might depend on your opinion of Xbox Cloud Gaming. If you’re into the idea of combining VR with Xbox cloud gaming, this headset could be a fun, unique addition to your collection. For others, it might raise more questions than excitement.
