Our take on the Meta Quest 3S 128GB Mixed Reality Headset

The Meta Quest 3S is a standalone mixed reality headset and the entry point into Meta's Quest 3 generation. It runs the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip and full-color passthrough mixed reality as the Quest 3, so it plays the whole Quest library and Quest 3 exclusives like Batman: Arkham Shadow. It uses fresnel lenses and lower-resolution panels than the pricier Quest 3, which is the main trade-off. It suits first-time VR buyers and Quest and Quest 2 owners ready to upgrade.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the Quest 3S as the sensible first headset: it delivers the Quest 3's chip and mixed reality at the entry tier. The common complaints are the older lenses, softer image and short battery life.

  • PerformancePraisedThe same chip as the Quest 3 keeps frame rates steady in demanding titles.
  • BatteryCriticisedPlay time runs short in heavy games and mixed reality apps.
  • ComfortMixedThe strap is fine for short sessions but the front-heavy build tires the neck.

Questions and answers

Is the Quest 3S worth it over the Quest 3?
If you want the lowest entry into Quest 3-generation games and mixed reality, yes. The Quest 3 adds pancake lenses and sharper displays, which matter if image clarity is your priority.
Can it play the same games as the Quest 3?
Yes. It runs the full Quest library and Quest 3 and 3S exclusives such as Batman: Arkham Shadow, and games with Quest 3 performance updates work on it too.
How is the battery life?
Expect a couple of hours of play in demanding games, less in heavy mixed reality use. A battery pack or charging break helps for longer sessions.
Does it need a PC or console?
No. It is standalone and runs apps and games on the headset itself. You can also stream PC VR titles over Wi-Fi if you have a capable PC.
What is in the box?
The headset, two Touch Plus controllers, a charging cable and power adapter. Games and apps are downloaded separately.
Is it good for watching movies and shows?
Yes. Apps like Netflix in the browser, Prime Video, YouTube and Xbox Cloud Gaming run on a large virtual screen, and the built-in speakers support Dolby Atmos.
