Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is the latest innovation in immersive gaming from Xbox and Meta.

This limited-edition VR headset marks a significant move in Xbox’s strategy to broaden its gaming horizons. Designed in collaboration with Meta, the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition enhances the Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) experience, offering players more ways to enjoy games beyond traditional consoles.

Xbox has continuously expanded access to cloud gaming, and this new headset proves that vision. According to Lori Wright, Xbox’s corporate VP of partnerships and marketing, the headset embodies the “ongoing partnership” with Meta. She highlighted its ability to empower gamers to enjoy their favorite titles anytime, anywhere.

The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is now available for $400. The bundle includes the headset, matching Touch Plus controllers, a Meta Quest Elite strap, a special Xbox wireless controller, and a three-month membership to both Meta Horizon+ and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The device also supports all Xbox wireless and adaptive controllers via Bluetooth.

Xbox embraces the next frontier in gaming

Xbox’s design input ensures the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition reflects its iconic gaming identity. With the blend of cloud functionality and immersive VR, Xbox is making it easier for users to enjoy console-quality gaming in a more personal, flexible format.

Wright emphasized that this edition brings Xbox’s vision to life by combining game-streaming convenience with the freedom of wireless VR. Whether you’re exploring VR worlds, streaming AAA titles from the cloud, or enjoying 3D entertainment, the experience is crafted to meet modern gaming needs.

This product launch coincides with concerning internal news at Xbox. Reports suggest a new wave of layoffs next week, following a series of cuts over the past two years that affected thousands, including closures of multiple studios under Bethesda.

Xbox Edition paves the way for immersive cloud gaming

Despite these workforce reductions, Microsoft’s recent Q3 2025 report showed a 5% year-on-year revenue growth in its gaming division. This suggests that while restructuring continues, Xbox still sees value in strategic innovations like the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition.

The VR headset not only builds on Meta’s robust virtual environment but also advances Xbox’s broader ambition to deliver seamless, immersive, and accessible gaming experiences. This collaboration is a clear signal: VR and cloud gaming are no longer niche—they’re becoming mainstream
