Xbox and Meta have teamed up to release the Meta\u00a0Quest\u00a03S<\/a>\u00a0Xbox\u00a0Edition, which the companies say is the first-ever limited-edition\u00a0Quest\u00a0headset. The collaboration isn\u2019t quite proof that Xbox is embracing VR and mixed reality \u2014 it\u2019s being released to \u201ccelebrate the experience of\u00a0Xbox\u00a0Cloud Gaming\u201d on Meta\u00a0Quest, the companies say.<\/p>\n

The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition will be available for $399.99 in limited quantities. The bundle will include Meta\u2019s Quest 3D headset with 128 GB of storage in \u201cXbox Carbon Black and Velocity Green,\u201d matching Touch Plus controllers, an Xbox wireless controller, and a three-month Xbox Games Pass Ultimate membership. Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition will be sold from xbox.com, Best Buy in the U.S., and Argos and EE in the U.K.<\/p>\n

The partnership may appear on its face like an unusual move at this stage of the Xbox business, but the stand-alone Meta Quest 3S has been capable of playing Xbox Game Pass games for the past 18 months. In December 2023, Microsoft and Meta brought the beta version of the Xbox Cloud Gaming app to Quest platforms. Quest owners can play titles like Forza Motorsport<\/em>, Starfield<\/em>, and Hi-Fi Rush<\/em> on the headsets\u2019 virtual display, without the need to hog the living room TV. Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming players have a headset to call their own, with black and green branding, and Microsoft can get a sense of just how many more players might be interested in playing Xbox games through a headset.<\/p>\n

So, add the Meta Quest 3S to the list of devices that can legitimately be called an Xbox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meta and Microsoft first announced plans<\/a> to release a limited-edition Meta Quest \u201cinspired by Xbox\u201d last year. Microsoft has previously flirted with bringing VR and mixed reality to its Xbox platforms; in 2017, Microsoft committed to bringing mixed reality content to Project Scorpio<\/a>, the console that would later be released as the Xbox One X.<\/p>\n
