This comes after the reveal of the even more affordable Meta Quest 3S, which is a little less impressive spec-wise, but provides a great opportunity for anyone to get into VR without shelling out. The best Meta Quest deals are certainly on the Quest 3 and Quest 3S right now, especially since the Quest 3S includes Batman Arkham Shadow at no extra cost.
We gave this VR headset a 9/10 in our Meta Quest 3 review. Writer Eric Song stated that, "The Quest 3 continues Meta’s legacy of offering a cost-effective headset that doesn’t require an expensive gaming PC, but can still benefit from one if you have it." He continued on to say that, "The Quest 3 goes even further by offering us a ticket to mixed-reality gaming with a full-color passthrough mode that’s sharp enough to read things in the world around you, the lightest and most precisely tracked controllers available, and more."
Meta Quest 3S Preorders Include Batman Arkham Shadow
Officially introduced during the Meta Connect event was the Meta Quest 3S. This is a cheaper alternative to the Meta Quest 3, with the 128GB model coming in at $299.99 and the 256GB model available for $399.99. That's up to $200 less expensive than the Quest 3, making it a fantastic point to jump in on the VR fun with their latest release. Not to mention, you'll get Batman: Arkham Shadow and a 3-Month Trial of Meta Quest+ for free with your purchase. That's a crazy good investment! You can preorder it at the links below with a release date of October 15.
