Meta and Xbox Launch Limited Edition Quest 3S Bundle for Cloud Gaming

• The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition retails for $399.99 and includes a custom headset, controllers, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
• The bundle is the first limited edition Quest, integrating Xbox Cloud Gaming for virtual large-screen play.

Meta and Xbox have officially launched the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition, a special release celebrating the expansion of Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) on Quest headsets. Priced at $399.99, the limited edition bundle marks the first of its kind for the Quest series and features a new design inspired by Xbox’s iconic style.

The package includes a custom Meta Quest 3S headset in Xbox Carbon Black and Velocity Green, matching Touch Plus controllers, an Elite Strap, a limited-edition Xbox Wireless Controller, and three-month trials of Meta Horizon+ and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The included Xbox controller comes pre-paired and matches the headset’s color scheme.

With the Xbox app on Quest, players can access over 100 cloud-streamable games as part of their Game Pass Ultimate membership, supporting cross-play and cross-progression. The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is available now in limited quantities from select retailers and online.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

This special edition launch is a lucrative move by Meta to target the gaming market. It’s another signal that headset design is being used to spotlight a hero use case, making the device’s value instantly clear to drive adoption. We’ve seen this earlier this month in AI glasses, like Meta’s Oakley HSTN partnership for the fitness segment.
