Meta Quest 3
The best all-round headset most people can actually buy.
Full breakdown →Meta Quest 3S
The default first headset: everything that matters, at the lowest price.
The 30-second version
The Quest 3S runs every Quest game — including exclusives like Batman: Arkham Shadow — on the same chip as the Quest 3, with older lenses and lower-resolution screens as the trade-off. For a first headset, that trade is almost always worth it.
Best for: First-time buyers, families, and anyone who wants maximum games per dollar.
What you should know
- Same processor and game library as Quest 3 — nothing is off-limits
- Narrower, softer image than Quest 3; you notice it in text-heavy apps
- 128 GB fills fast — budget for the 256 GB model if you can
- Also works as a PC VR headset with a link cable or Wi-Fi streaming
