The Meta Quest 3S VR headset is now available at reduced prices, starting at $250 for the 128GB model, making it the most affordable option in the market. This comes as the PlayStation VR2 returns to its full price. The discounts, offering up to $50 off, include bonuses like free games for certain models.
The Meta Quest 3S serves as an accessible entry point into virtual reality gaming, featuring a robust library of titles and now even more budget-friendly pricing. The 128GB version has dropped from $300 to $250, while the 256GB model is priced at $350, down from $400. These savings, which range from 13% to 17%, position the Quest 3S ahead of competitors like the PlayStation VR2, which has reverted to its original full price.
Purchasers of the 256GB model receive Batman: Arkham Shadow at no extra cost. In this game, players embody the Dark Knight, pursuing the enigmatic Rat King through Gotham City's streets on the Fourth of July. It acts as a narrative follow-up to Batman: Arkham Origins, enhanced by the headset's immersive wireless motion controls.
Every Meta Quest 3S purchase includes three months of Meta Quest+, unlocking more than 40 VR games. Highlights include Walkabout Mini Golf, which delivers enjoyable course designs, hidden ball hunts, and cross-state multiplayer sessions for casual virtual hangouts. Another notable 2025 release, Marvel’s Deadpool VR, features the mercenary's chaotic action with voice work by Neil Patrick Harris, though it falls outside the subscription.
Technologically, the Quest 3S improves on the Meta Quest 2 with the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor for enhanced performance, full-color passthrough via external sensors, and an action button to switch between virtual and mixed reality modes. With these limited-time deals, the headset offers strong value for VR newcomers.
