Meta and Microsoft have officially introduced the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition, a limited-edition VR headset priced at $399.99. This exclusive bundle features a 128 GB Quest 3S in Xbox Carbon Black with Velocity Green accents, paired with Touch Plus controllers, a themed Xbox Wireless Controller, Elite Strap, 3 months of Meta Horizon+, and 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Designed for seamless integration with Xbox services, the headset boots directly into the Xbox Cloud Gaming app, offering a console-like experience in VR. Games like Forza Motorsport, Starfield, and Hi-Fi Rush can be played on a 26-foot virtual screen, creating a powerful synergy between Xbox’s content and Meta’s hardware. This release smartly bridges the gap between traditional console gaming and VR, providing both an entry point for newcomers and a collector’s item for Xbox fans.
While the internal specs match the standard Quest 3S (Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2, 8 GB RAM), the Xbox Edition aims to gauge user interest in Xbox-themed VR. Available through xbox.com, Best Buy (US), and Argos / EE (UK), this model is in limited supply—Microsoft warns: “once they’re gone, they’re gone.” With Game Pass access and native Xbox controller pairing, it’s a promising step toward mainstream cloud gaming in VR.
