Today at Connect this year, we launched The Meta Quest 3S the headset that comes with similar mixed-reality capabilities and speedy performance like Meta Quest 3, but at a lower price. Beginning at USD 299.99. Quest 3S can be the ideal headset for people who are new to mixed reality and immersive experiences or those who have been waiting for a cheap update of Quest or Quest 2.
From watching your most loved television shows with a large screen to a personal trainer that you carry wherever you go, and gaming, multitasking, and more, there’s a more immersive mixed reality system for sale at this cost.
Meta Quest 3S Joins the Meta Quest 3 Family
When we launched Meta Quest 3 last year it was not just stronger than Quest 2, it was a real mixed reality experience at the price of a typical consumer. Equipped with full-color Passthrough features, Quest 3 unlocked an entirely new kind of experience and allowed people to blend the physical and virtual worlds as never before.
We’ve made changes to the Quest ecosystem and turning Meta Quest 3 into an an even better headset. Meta Quest 3S can benefit from those improvements from day one.
We’ve redesigned Meta Horizon OS for spatial computing, and better support for 2D applications such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. We’ve improved the spatial audio and also improved the contrast and color of Passthrough to make it more real and immersive. It’s also possible to utilize Quest when you travel with Travel Mode.
We’ve got big ideas for the future including broadening Travel Mode to work on trains, supporting lying on the floor while using the headset, working on improving Meta AI in Quest, and making it possible to use the “Hey Meta” wake word to trigger it, and much more.
As with all our previous headsets Meta Quest 3S has been built on the foundation of trust along with new features designed to safeguard your privacy and personal data.

In Quest 3S, there’s something for every person. Enjoy a concert at Horizon Worlds’ Music Valley or get front-row seats to Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, and others.
