Discover Where to Pre-Order Your Meta Quest 3S – The Next Big Thing in Hardware
Meta has unveiled a new entry-level mixed reality headset, the Meta Quest 3S, which starts at $299.99 for the 128 GB model and $399.99 for 256 GB. Pre-orders are live at Meta’s website and will ship Oct. 15 along with a copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow.
The Verge was able to get a hands-on demo with the new Quest 3S and notes that it is “bringing a lot of what you can get on the Quest 3 to a much more affordable VR headset.”
As part of the unveiling, Meta has also announced that both the Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro are being sunsetted, streamlining the lineup to these two Quest 3S models as well as the 512 GB Meta Quest 3 for $499.99.
While Meta has been pushing virtual reality for many years now— with memories of trying out an early Oculus Rift—one key turning point was the release of the entry-level Meta Quest 2. This headset removed the need for multiple external cameras or long cords, opting instead for a self-contained experience, all at a more acceptable price. By all accounts, the new Quest 3S will become Meta’s new entry-level model for years to come.
