Meta Unveils Budget-Friendly Quest 3S VR Headset

The new $300 headset offers similar features to the Quest 3, with some trade-offs in display quality and field of view.

  • Meta Quest 3S is priced at $299.99 for the 128GB model and $399.99 for the 256GB model.
  • The headset shares the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor and 8GB RAM with the Quest 3, ensuring comparable performance.
  • The Quest 3S uses lower-resolution Fresnel lenses, resulting in slightly reduced image clarity and field of view compared to the Quest 3.
  • Meta is discontinuing the Quest 2 and Quest Pro, with the Quest 3S positioned as their affordable replacement.
  • Pre-orders are open now, with the headset shipping on October 15, and early buyers will receive a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow.
