The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition presents a unique Black and green aesthetic, but its existence raises questions regarding Microsoft's branding strategy. This variant, priced at $400, includes a limited-edition Xbox controller and three months of Game Pass Ultimate, allowing access to select cloud gaming titles. However, a major limitation is that it primarily supports Play Anywhere games, meaning many popular titles won’t be playable without repurchasing. This reflects a broader trend of Microsoft's initiative to brand everything compatible with Game Pass as part of the Xbox ecosystem, despite inherent challenges.
The entry-level Meta Quest 3S 128GB is currently $300. The Xbox version will be $400 but comes with a limited-edition Xbox controller.
Microsoft's promise is to slap the Xbox logo on anything that streams Game Pass, from smart TVs to VR headsets like the Meta Quest 3S.
