Our take on the Meta Quest 3S (128 GB)

The Meta Quest 3S is Meta's budget mixed-reality headset, a cheaper take on the Quest 3 with the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip and full-color passthrough. It uses Fresnel lenses and lower-resolution LCD panels (1832 x 1920 per eye) than the Quest 3, with a 96-degree horizontal field of view and up to 120 Hz refresh. The 128 GB model is the entry version, and its best new price was $349 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, with 9 stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Quest 3S worth it over the Quest 3?
Yes if price matters most. The 3S has the same chip and passthrough but older Fresnel lenses and lower-resolution screens. The Quest 3 gives a sharper image and wider field of view for more money.
How much storage does the 128 GB model hold?
About 128 GB total, minus system files. Big titles like Asgard's Wrath 2 take several gigabytes each, so expect a dozen or so large games before you need to delete anything. There is no expansion slot.
Can I use it with a PC?
Yes. It works with Meta Quest Link over a USB-C cable or Air Link over Wi-Fi, and it supports Wi-Fi 6E for wireless PC VR. You need a Windows PC that meets Meta's Link requirements.
What comes in the box?
The headset, two Touch Plus controllers, an 18W power adapter and a charging cable. No case or link cable is included.
Is it good for glasses wearers?
Yes, the spacer accommodates most glasses, and Meta sells prescription lens inserts. The Fresnel lenses can show glare either way.
When is it cheapest?
It drops around Black Friday and during Meta's seasonal sales. The best new price was $349 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, so watch for bundles that add a game or case at the same price.
Where is the Meta Quest 3S (128 GB) cheapest?
At Walmart, for $349.00, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Meta Quest 3S (128 GB)?
10 stores we checked sell it, including Walmart, Newegg Business, Best Buy, Micro Center, Target.
