Introducing Meta Quest 3S

Today, Mark announced the latest addition to our Quest 3 lineup at Meta Connect: the Meta Quest 3S. It offers the same Mixed Reality capabilities as the Quest 3 but at an unbeatable price of just $299. This is a perfect opportunity for those seeking an upgrade from the Quest 2 or eager to experience the magic of Mixed Reality for the first time. I cannot wait for it to ship to our users and see how they will use it!

I am truly grateful to have been part of this incredible journey alongside such a dedicated and talented team!

The Verge - Meta’s cheaper Quest 3S might just be an upgrade

"I can tell you that it’s a lot closer to the Quest 3 than expected for a refresh that’s almost half the price. If you don’t have a Quest headset already, the 3S is potentially a very compelling purchase."

"Not only has price come down, value has gone up as well—Horizon OS is still plenty flawed, but it’s much more capable than it was when Quest 2 launched. And the breadth and quality of content in the Horizon OS store has gone up too; those who are new to VR have a lengthy list of worthwhile content to dig into."

"Meta announced that the headset would include the controllers and a copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow (it's also included with the more expensive Quest 3 headset).
