Limited-Edition Xbox Design

Unlike the standard white Quest 3S, the Xbox Edition features a distinctive gaming-focused finish.

Its design includes:

• Carbon Black headset
• Velocity Green accents
• Xbox-inspired styling
• Matching limited-edition accessories
• Exclusive collector-oriented appearance

The special finish makes the Xbox Edition particularly attractive to Xbox enthusiasts who want their VR setup to complement other Xbox hardware.

Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 Performance

At the heart of the Quest 3S Xbox Edition is the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 platform.

This chipset provides the processing and graphics performance required to run compatible VR and mixed-reality applications directly on the headset.

Because the Quest 3S is a standalone system, users don’t need an Xbox console or gaming PC to run native Meta Quest titles.

8GB RAM & 128GB Storage

The Xbox Edition comes with:

• 8GB RAM
• 128GB internal storage

The 8GB of memory supports demanding VR and mixed-reality applications, while the 128GB storage provides space for games, applications and other downloaded content.

Immersive VR Display

The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition uses an LCD display system designed to create an immersive stereoscopic VR experience.

Key display specifications include:

• 1832 × 1920 resolution per eye
• Up to 120Hz refresh rate
• Wide field of view
• Smooth VR motion
• Adjustable viewing experience

Higher refresh rates can provide smoother movement in compatible games and applications.

Full-Color Mixed Reality

The Quest 3S isn’t limited to completely virtual environments. Its external cameras provide full-color passthrough, allowing compatible applications to blend digital objects with your physical surroundings.

Mixed reality can be used for:

• Gaming
• Fitness
• Entertainment
• Productivity
• Social applications
• Interactive experiences

A dedicated Action Button also makes switching between immersive VR and passthrough views more convenient.

Xbox Cloud Gaming

One of the biggest attractions of the Xbox Edition is its integration with the wider Xbox ecosystem.

Through the Xbox app and Xbox Cloud Gaming, users can play supported Xbox titles on a large virtual screen inside the headset.

Instead of replacing your television with another physical display, Quest can create a large virtual gaming screen in your environment.

A compatible internet connection and appropriate Xbox Game Pass subscription are required for cloud gaming.

Limited-Edition Xbox Wireless Controller

The package includes a matching Xbox Wireless Controller featuring the Xbox Edition’s black-and-green styling.

The controller is ideal for conventional Xbox games streamed through Xbox Cloud Gaming and provides the familiar Xbox control layout.

This means users can switch between motion-controlled VR experiences and traditional controller-based Xbox games using the same headset.

Meta Quest Touch Plus Controllers

The package also includes Meta Quest Touch Plus controllers.

These controllers provide motion tracking for native VR and mixed-reality games, allowing users to interact naturally with virtual environments.

They can be used for:

• VR gaming
• Fitness applications
• Virtual menus
• Mixed-reality experiences
• Social applications
• Creative applications

Hand Tracking

Quest 3S also supports hand tracking, allowing compatible experiences to detect your hands without requiring the Touch Plus controllers.

This provides a more natural way to navigate supported menus and interact with selected applications.

6DoF Tracking

Six degrees of freedom (6DoF) tracking allows the headset and controllers to understand movement through three-dimensional space.

The system tracks movements such as:

• Moving forward and backward
• Moving left and right
• Moving up and down
• Turning
• Tilting
• Rotating

This tracking is essential for creating the sense of physical presence associated with modern VR.

Xbox Edition Elite Strap

Another significant addition to the package is a matching Meta Quest Elite Strap.

Compared with the standard fabric strap supplied with regular Quest 3S packages, the Elite Strap provides a more structured fit and improved adjustment.

It can make longer VR, mixed-reality and cloud-gaming sessions more comfortable.

Spatial Audio

Built-in speakers provide immersive spatial audio without requiring separate headphones.

Spatial audio helps users perceive where sounds are coming from within compatible virtual environments, improving immersion in games and entertainment.

Wi-Fi 6E Connectivity

The Quest 3S Xbox Edition supports Wi-Fi 6E, providing high-speed wireless connectivity when paired with a compatible router.

Strong Wi-Fi performance is particularly important when using:

• Xbox Cloud Gaming
• Online VR games
• Streaming applications
• Multiplayer experiences
• PC VR through Air Link

For Xbox Cloud Gaming, connection quality can have a major effect on responsiveness and image quality.

PC VR Support

Although Quest 3S operates independently, it can also be connected to a compatible gaming PC.

Users can access supported PC VR experiences through options such as:

• Meta Quest Link
• Air Link

This extends the headset beyond standalone Quest applications and provides access to compatible PC VR content when suitable computer hardware is available.

Battery Life

The built-in rechargeable battery provides approximately 2.5 hours of typical use, although actual endurance depends on the applications, display settings, wireless connectivity and other operating conditions.

The headset recharges through USB Type-C.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Included

The Xbox Edition bundle includes a promotional 3-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership for eligible users.

Game Pass Ultimate provides access to Xbox Cloud Gaming and a broad catalog of supported games, subject to Microsoft’s current membership terms and regional service availability.

Meta Horizon+ Included

The bundle also includes a promotional 3-month Meta Horizon+ membership for eligible users.

Meta Horizon+ provides access to a rotating selection of compatible VR games and other membership benefits, subject to Meta’s current terms and regional availability.
