The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition features a custom 128GB headset with a Carbon Black finish and Velocity Green accents, reflecting the familiar visual identity of Xbox. The package includes matching Touch Plus controllers, a limited-edition Xbox Wireless Controller pre-paired with the headset, and the Meta Quest Elite Strap. The bundle also comes with three months of access to both Meta Horizon+ and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, providing immediate access to content and services. With a retail price of $399.99 USD, the headset is positioned as a complete entry point for both VR and Xbox cloud gaming users.

Enhanced Gaming with Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta)

The headset supports Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) via the Xbox app on Quest. This enables Game Pass Ultimate subscribers to stream a broad selection of games directly within the virtual environment. Games such as South of Midnight, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and Avowed are available, with more than 100 compatible titles listed in the “Stream Your Own Game” collection. Additionally, users can stream cloud-enabled games they already own, even if those titles are not part of the Game Pass Ultimate catalog.

Cross-Platform Support and Seamless Play

With Game Pass Ultimate, players benefit from features such as cross-play and cross-progression, ensuring their game progress and achievements are consistent across different devices. Users can start playing on the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition, switch to a console, and continue their session on a Windows PC, without losing data or saved progress. This flexibility supports a connected gaming experience that aligns with the broader strategy of making Xbox titles available across a growing ecosystem of devices.
