Today at Connect, we unveiled <\/span>Meta Quest 3S<\/span><\/a>, a headset with the same mixed reality capabilities and fast performance as Meta Quest 3, but at a lower price point. Starting at just $299.99 USD, Quest 3S is the best headset for those new to mixed reality and immersive experiences, or who might have been waiting for a low-cost upgrade from Quest and Quest 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From watching your favorite TV shows on a cinema-sized screen to your own personal trainer that you can take with you anywhere you go, plus multitasking capabilities, gaming and more, there\u2019s no better mixed reality device on the market at this price.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meta Quest 3S Joins the Meta Quest 3 Family<\/h2>\n

When we released Meta Quest 3 last year, it wasn\u2019t simply more powerful than Quest 2, it was a true mixed reality device at a consumer-friendly price point. With full-color Passthrough capabilities, Quest 3 unlocked an entirely new genre of experiences and let people blend the virtual and physical worlds like never before.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve spent 2024 making improvements to the Quest ecosystem, turning Meta Quest 3 into an even more capable headset \u2014 and Meta Quest 3S will benefit from those updates day one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve rebuilt Meta Horizon OS for spatial computing, with better support for essential 2D apps like YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. We\u2019ve added better spatial audio and improved Passthrough\u2019s contrast and color, making it more realistic and immersive. You can even use Quest while in transit, thanks to Travel Mode.<\/span><\/p>\n

And we\u2019ve got big plans for the future, like expanding Travel Mode to work on trains, support for lying down while using the headset, continuing to improve Meta AI on Quest and enabling the \u201cHey Meta\u201d wake word to invoke it, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like all of our previous headsets, Meta Quest 3S is <\/span>built on a foundation of trust<\/span><\/a>, with new features that will protect your privacy and data<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Something for Everyone<\/h2>\n
