"Quest 3S is the best headset for those new to mixed reality and immersive experiences and for those who might've been waiting for a low-cost upgrade from Quest and Quest 2," Meta notes in a blog post. Highlighting the product's position, this statement underlines the appeal of the Quest 3S to a broader audience, especially those hesitant about entering the mixed reality space due to cost concerns.
Meta has, naturally, made some cuts to drive the new model's starting price down to $300. That includes quite a bit less storage at 128GB, though if that's not enough, you can get the 256GB model for $100 more. The 3S also sports a downgrade display. In fact, it's the same 1832×1920 resolution display found in the Quest 2; this is, no doubt, the single largest cost-cutting measure, down from the Quest 3's 2064×2208.
While the Quest 2 and Quest Pro are officially being sunset with this news, Quest 3 is sticking around with its own price drop. The 512GB model drops from $650 to $500. Meta will also be bundling the new Batman: Arkham Shadows title and three months of subscription Quest+ with all purchases of a Quest 3 or 3S.
