🎮 Xbox Just Dropped a Headset You Can Wear
Yep. This is real. Xbox and Meta just launched the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition, and it might be one of the coolest collabs we’ve seen all year. It’s a legit Xbox-branded VR headset that comes fully loaded with extras and gives you a fresh way to game with Game Pass in VR.
The headset comes in a sleek Carbon Black with Velocity Green accents, and it includes a matching Xbox Wireless Controller, Touch Plus controllers, and a Meta Quest Elite Strap for extra support. It also gives you 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and 3 months of Meta Horizon+ right out of the box. All of that comes in at only $399.99!
It’s not a full Xbox VR system, but it lets you stream Xbox games on a massive virtual screen. You’re basically getting your own floating Xbox theater wherever you go.
Here’s what’s under the hood:
đź“Š Specs at a Glance
| Feature | Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition |
|---|---|
| Processor | Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 |
| RAM | 8 GB |
| Storage | 128 GB (no expansion slot) |
| Display | 1832 x 1920 LCD per eye |
| Field of View | 96° horizontal × 90° vertical |
| Lens Type | Fresnel |
| Weight | ~514g |
| Battery | 4,325mAh (2 to 2.5 hours average runtime) |
| Controllers | Touch Plus (6DoF) and Xbox Wireless Controller |

| Price | $399.99 USD |
This headset is still the Quest 3S underneath, just dressed up in Xbox colors and bundled with stuff you’d probably want anyway. The Elite Strap alone is usually a separate purchase, and throwing in a real Xbox controller makes this feel more complete than most VR setups.
It’s available starting today, but only in the United States for now. And it’s a limited edition, so once it’s gone, that might be it.
If you’ve been thinking about jumping into VR or want to try cloud gaming in a new way, this is one to keep an eye on.
