Microsoft Announces the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition
Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition has been officially announced by Microsoft, confirming the leaks from the past few days. This limited edition headset is designed to celebrate the expansion of Xbox Cloud Gaming services on Meta Quest devices.
This marks the first limited edition ever made for the Quest line, representing a significant step forward in the collaboration between the two companies. It aims to bring the Xbox experience everywhere, combining the freedom of cloud gaming with the potential of mixed reality.
What’s Included in the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition
Available starting today for $399.99, the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition includes everything you need to start playing right away:
- Custom 128GB Meta Quest 3S in Xbox Carbon Black and Velocity Green
- Matching Touch Plus controllers and a limited-edition Xbox Wireless Controller
- Meta Quest Elite Strap
- 3 months of Meta Horizon+
- 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
The aesthetic of the device mirrors Xbox, with the included controller also following a consistent style, featuring a black casing with green accents on the buttons and analog sticks.
Expanding the Xbox Ecosystem
While Microsoft is testing next-generation Xbox Cloud servers and possibly a specific subscription plan, the announcement of the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition further extends the reach of the Microsoft ecosystem, also leveraging console streaming for owned titles.
Thanks to the Xbox app on Quest, users will have instant access to hundreds of games via Xbox Cloud Gaming, including titles like South of Midnight, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Avowed, and more—all part of the Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
The headset also allows you to sync progress across devices: you can start a game on the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition and pick it up on your console or PC without losing achievements or save data.
