Xbox and Meta launch mixed reality headset with Game Pass: this is the limited edition Quest 3S

Microsoft and Meta today announced the launch of the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition, a limited-edition console celebrating the expansion of Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) to mixed reality devices.

This special version of the headset marks the first collaboration of its kind between the two companies and is now available at select retailers.

The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is a customized version of the Meta Quest 3S mixed reality headset, designed in Xbox's signature colors: Carbon Black with Velocity Green accents.

The bundle is priced at $399.99 and is aimed at those looking for an immersive gaming experience with an Xbox identity.

The new package includes:

The included Xbox controller is pre-configured for immediate use with the headset and replicates the black design with green accents, extending the aesthetic to all components of the set.

Through the Xbox app on Quest, users can directly access over 100 titles via Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) , including South of Midnight, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and Avowed. Additionally, Game Pass Ultimate members can stream games they already own, even if they're not part of the Game Pass catalog.

The headset also offers cross-play support and synchronized progression, allowing you to continue matches from console, PC, or headset without losing data or achievements.

The limited-edition Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is available now through meta.com, Best Buy in the US, and Argos and EE stores in the UK.

The quantity of units is limited and a new release is not planned once inventory is exhausted.
