As we recently covered in our rumored leak article, the day is finally here and exactly when predicted. Xbox has unveiled the new Meta crossover partnership with the official announcement of the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition VR headset!
The headset doesn’t require an Xbox console to function and features a huge virtual screen and 128GB storage. This is, however, a limited-edition headset, so it’s worth scooping one up sooner rather than later if you want to get in on the fun. It also features both motion controllers and Xbox wireless controller compatibility, so that could aid in the level of accessibility for a broader audience of players.
Xbox’s Corporate Vice President of Gaming Partnerships and Business Development Lori Wright stated today on Xbox Wire:
“Today, in collaboration with Meta, we are excited to announce the launch of the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition. The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition limited edition release- the first limited edition ever for Quest – is part of our ongoing partnership and celebrates the expansion of Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) on Meta Quest headsets. Over the past several years, Xbox has expanded the Xbox cloud gaming experience to more places and more players. Since the announcement of the Xbox app on Quest, our goal has been to empower more people to play their favorite games whenever and wherever they want. Today, with the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition, we are bringing this vision to life with a new design that celebrates Xbox’s iconic aesthetic.”
The headset comes just after the recent announcements that Xbox would be coming to more platforms than ever before with the Asus ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X handheld devices and promises of more player freedom through Xbox’s continued partnership with AMD in the coming years.
Priced at only $399.99, the new Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is available for purchase now and features:
- Custom Carbon Black design with Velocity Green trim
- 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate*
- Limited edition Xbox controller
- Carbon Black Meta Quest Elite strap included
“Play Xbox bigger than ever… Transform any space into your own personal gaming arena with a virtual screen that can stretch up to 26 feet. No Xbox console required. Available in the U.S. and U.K.”
