How to pre-order the Meta Quest 3S VR headset

The Meta Quest 3S VR headset is official. If you're thinking about grabbing one, here's what to know before you order.

Meta is aiming it squarely at VR newbies, those upgrading from an older headset and anyone else who's been holding out for a more affordable option — if you're thinking about taking the plunge, here's what to know before you pre-order. The new headset has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip and 8GB of RAM as the pricier Quest 3, so it can run all the same games, apps and other VR software. If you order by April 30, 2025, you'll get a digital copy of the upcoming game Batman: Arkham Shadow(which releases on October 22) and a three-month trial to Meta's Quest+ subscription service thrown in.
