In addition to granting access to a rotating library of games, subscribers get two free games each month, and you get to keep them even if you cancel your subscription.
The Quest 3S is a lightweight, standalone VR headset that comes with two wireless Touch Plus controllers. It’s strong enough to play a wide range of impressive VR games directly on the headset’s internal hardware, including showpiece titles like Batman: Arkham Shadow, Asgard’s Wrath 2, and Assassin’s Creed Nexus. For VR games like Half Life: Alyx that are beyond its built-in capabilities, the Quest 3S can be synced to wirelessly to a gaming PC or with a compatible link cable. You can also cloud stream games and use the headset as a wearable projector to watch movies and TV shows.
Meta’s entry-level VR headset is a modified version of the more powerful and expensive Quest 3[1]. Both models have 8GB RAM and use the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chipset, which is a noticeable leap forward from the Quest 2. Outside of storage differences–the Quest 3 has 512GB–the internals are the same. Both versions come bundled with the wireless Touch Plus controllers, too. The Quest 3 has more advanced lenses, which results in a larger, clearer image. That said, the Quest 3S still looks great and can play the same games, and it even has slightly better battery life (2.5 hours).
With this deal, you’re getting the Quest 3S 128GB model for half the price of the $499 Quest 3.
