Meta and Microsoft collaborate to sell limited quantities of Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition at $400.
The special edition headset comes with an Elite Strap, Xbox controller, and 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
The system is available at selected retailers in the US and UK, with a warning from Meta that it's a limited-time offer.
This version is priced $100 higher than the regular Quest 3S but is actually $100 cheaper than buying the components separately.
The collaboration is part of Meta and Microsoft's ongoing partnership in XR, following previous integrations like Xbox Cloud Gaming on Quest.
The release of Quest 3S Xbox Edition recalls the original Oculus Rift that launched with an Xbox controller in 2016.
The package offers a variety of VR experiences and access to Xbox Cloud Gaming library, marking a significant starting point for the Meta Quest ecosystem.
As the holiday season approaches, the VR market is expected to see new device announcements and deals, including additional Horizon OS headsets.
Other tech companies like Google and Valve are also working on their VR headsets, adding to the choices available in the market.
Considering the limited availability and potential upcoming releases, buyers need to weigh their options carefully before purchasing the collector's edition.
