It’s been long rumoured, but Meta has this morning officially lifted the lid on the Meta Quest 3S and it’s a fantastic deal starting at $499.99 AUD with a copy of Batman Arkham Shadows.
The Meta Quest 3S has the same processor as the Meta Quest 3 meaning it’ll be able to play all the upcoming games such as Batman Arkham Shadow and the recently released Assassin’s Creed Nexus.
The differences from the Meta Quest 3 are that it is larger, the colour pass through doesn’t have the same depth technology (but is still says to be fantastic) and the lenses aren’t as high resolution, but it seems the experience will be fairly similar as even the newer controllers are included.
Another new feature is a new action button that allows you to activate pass through more easily than double tapping on the headset as was previously done.
It was also announced that both the Quest 3 and Quest 3S will be getting a new app store that welcomes 2S and spatial apps to take advantage of the mixed reality features.
META QUEST 3S AUSTRALIAN PRICE AND RELEASE DATE
The good news is that it’s available for $499 AUD in Australia for the 128GB version and also comes with Batman: Arkham Shadow for free too. There’s also a 256GB version for $669 AUD.
It will release in Australia on October 15th and pre-orders are available now right HERE.
- Meta Quest 3S 128GB – $499 AUD with free Batman Arkham Shadows
- Meta Quest 3S 256GB – $669 AUD with free Batman Arkham Shadows
- Meta Quest 3 512GB – $1,049 AUD with free Batman Arkham Shadows
Interestingly enough the Meta Quest 3 now only comes in the 512GB version which will cost $1,049 AUD, so it’s a big difference in price.
