While the Quest 3S hasn’t been officially unveiled by Meta, it has been sneakily alluded to several times by the company, and a vast amount of information surrounding the headse

A new leak indicates that a new Meta Quest virtual reality headset is about to release, and at a considerably lower price than the Meta Quest 3.

Meta Connect will air Sept. 25 and 26 from the stage at the company’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California. Meta will (hopefully) reveal exact timing for the event by next week. You can watch it via Facebook or, if you’re all-in on Meta’s vision, through the Horizon Worlds app on a Meta Quest headset.

According to a post on Reddit, an early showing of an Amazon ad on Peacock has revealed the price of the upcoming Meta Quest 3S as $299 for the 128GB model, which not only matches that of the 64GB Meta Quest 2 at launch but does so while doubling the available storage to 128GB.

The Meta Quest 3 is currently Meta's best VR headset and it's clearest strength is its software support via Horizon OS. That's not to say the hardware is anything to sniff at mind with good full-color passthrough, and a Snapdragon XR 2 Gen 2 chipset that can handle the XR challenges you throw at it. It's also the cheaper of the two headsets.

Meta’s developer conference may bring a dash of new Quest VR hardware, mixed reality experiences, and a truckload of AI software news — here’s how to watch it.
