Microsoft and Meta have collaborated to release a sleek, limited-edition Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition VR headgear, which combines Xbox games with virtual reality elements. This $399.99 combo wraps a 128GB Meta Quest 3S in Xbox’s famous Carbon Black and Velocity Green colors, giving it a distinct console look.
This headgear is designed for convenience and operates on Meta Horizon OS, making it a standalone VR system that does not require a PC or console. The 128GB storage capacity provides plenty of space for games and apps, and the Xbox controller makes Xbox Cloud Gaming feel natural for console gamers. The Elite Strap is a game changer, balancing the headset’s weight throughout extended gaming sessions. Mark Zuckerberg talked it up on Instagram, saying it’s ready to use with Xbox controllers and Game Pass, allowing you to play on a big virtual screen from anywhere.
The actual star here is Xbox Cloud Gaming, which streams hundreds of Game Pass Ultimate titles—including Halo, Forza Horizon 5, and even some old-school Xbox and Xbox 360 classics—directly to your headset. However, do not anticipate full VR; these games are played on a virtual flat screen rather than an immersive 3D environment. A Reddit commenter summarized it as follows: “It’s like having a big TV in VR, not a first-person 3D world.”
At $399.99, this combo is a deal. You get roughly $100 in extras, including the $50 Elite Strap, three months of Game Pass Ultimate (worth $60), and Meta Horizon+ (which adds value). The 128GB Quest 3S is priced the same as the ordinary device, so the Xbox-themed gear and subscriptions are icing on the cake. Social media is exploding, with pictures like AR12Gaming’s highlighting the sleek black-and-green design, Xbox controller, and Game Pass advantages.
