Unlock the Future of Gaming: Meta Quest 3S Review – The Ultimate VR Experience
The Quest 3S: A Step Down, But Still a Great Choice
When it comes to Meta’s Quest 3S, one of the best decisions you can make is that it comes with Batman: Arkham Shadow. But what makes this headset stand out from the rest? Let’s dive in and find out.
The Quest 3S: A Slightly More Affordable Option
The Quest 3S is Meta’s step-down headset from the Quest 3, but don’t let that fool you – it can still play all the same games. In fact, the Quest 3S makes some smart tradeoffs to offer a more affordable option without sacrificing too much in terms of performance.
What You Can Expect
The Quest 3S has the same chipset as the Quest 3, which means you’ll get the same level of graphics quality and performance. It also has the same cameras for full-color passthrough, and the same Touch Plus controllers. And, of course, it’s a standalone device that doesn’t need to be plugged into anything to work.
The Good
- Same chipset as the Quest 3
- Lots of games to play
- $299.99
The Bad
- It’s still a VR headset, which means you’re still putting on a big headset that covers your eyes and largely shuts you out from the world around you
- The lenses and display aren’t quite as good as the Quest 3
- It’s a touch heavier than the Quest 2
Who is the Quest 3S For?
The Quest 3S is perfect for anyone who wants to try out VR without breaking the bank. It’s also a great option for those who already own a Quest 2 and want to upgrade without sacrificing too much in terms of performance.
The Verdict
The Quest 3S may not be the best headset on the market, but it’s definitely a great choice for those who want a more affordable option without sacrificing too much in terms of performance. And, let’s be real, it comes with Batman: Arkham Shadow, which is definitely a major plus.
Agree to Continue: Meta Quest 3S
