Believe it or not, Christmas shopping season is approaching fast. If there’s someone on your list you want to impress without breaking the bank, then there’s a brand-new mixed reality headset on the market that’s worth a look: the Meta Quest 3S.
If you haven’t gotten a chance to use a mixed reality headset before, it blends the physical space around you with the virtual world, letting you experience all kinds of things in immersive new ways. You can use it for fitness, art, gaming, watching your favorite TV shows & movies, connecting with friends, and more, without having to leave your home.
Quest 3S is compatible with Meta’s full library of apps and games, meaning there are thousands of options available. There’s something on offer for all types of people and all members of the family. Want to get together with friends to watch a concert? You can do that. Maybe you want to organize a group workout. You can do that too. Or how about stepping into the shoes of Batman and defeating villains in Gotham City? You guessed it, you can do that too.
Quest 3S offers big improvements, compared to the Quest 2, having double the performance with 4.5 times the resolution and color. That means everything runs smoother and virtual objects around you look cleaner and crisper, which makes every experience even more immersive. If you wear glasses, then good news: the Quest 3S includes a spacer so you can fit the headset over your glasses and use them at the same time.
And best of all, the Quest 3S gives you access to all this without a hefty price tag. You can get the 128 GB version on EE right now for £289.99, with payment plans for as low as £7.71 a month. Or you can get the 256 GB version for £379.99, with payment plans as low as £10.10 a month.
If you buy a Quest 3S now, it’ll come bundled with Batman: Arkham Shadow for no additional cost. Arkham Shadow is a continuation of the popular Arkham series, this time letting you don Batman’s cowl in VR. It features all the highlights the Arkham series is known for, including the freeform combat, Detective Vision, gadgets, and puzzle solving. You’ll join forces with familiar faces to take down the Rat King, a new villain with a cult-like following threatening to take over the city.
Quest 3S also comes with a three-month trial of Meta Quest+, a subscription service with a revolving catalog of games that adds two new titles every month.
There’s a lot to like about the Meta Quest 3S. It would make a good gift for all kinds of different people — tech-savvy loved ones who want the latest gadgets, the gamer who wants to play everything they can get their hands on, or just a friend who wants to add some adventure to their day-to-day life. There’s a little something for everyone.
