Microsoft and Meta have teamed up to release a limited-edition Xbox-branded version of the Meta Quest 3S. The virtual reality headset comes with 128GB of built-in storage and a custom “carbon black and velocity green” color scheme. The bundle also includes an Elite Strap, a limited-edition Xbox Wireless Controller, plus three months of Meta Horizon+ and 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is available starting today, June 24, for $399.99. Microsoft says “quantities are extremely limited. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.”
Buy Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition
That’s not a bad price, seeing as the standard 128GB Meta Quest 3S (which comes with three months of Meta Horizon+) costs $300, the Elite Strap is $130, most limited-edition Xbox controllers cost $75, and three months of Game Pass Ultimate is $60. So basically, the bundle saves you $265 versus buying the items separately – and you get the unique, limited-edition Xbox color scheme.
The reason for the release is to "celebrate the expansion of Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) on Meta Quest headsets."
This is the first limited-edition version of any Meta Quest VR headset.
