A black Meta Quest 3S Xbox edition just dropped, and it has a proper strap too

Meta has revealed its new Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition VR headset bundle, finally giving gamers an option other than white for their Meta VR headset experience. It's not cheap, but this bundle arguably makes up for its price tag with the inclusion of matching wireless Xbox and Touch Plus controllers, a proper strap, plus three months of Meta Horizon+ and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate access.

This is the first-ever Meta Quest brand collaboration, and it features one of the latest headsets on the market. The Meta Quest 3S has always been a great budget headset, and it has a deserved place on our buying guide to the best VR headset designs on the market.

The bundle itself is aimed at brand-loyal or massive fans of the Xbox ecosystem, and comes in at $399.99, which is $100 more than the base Meta Quest 3S headset. However, once you factor the Xbox controller into the equation, which typically retails for around $64, as well as the Elite Strap, which typically goes for $60 (and is massively better than the standard strap), it starts to look like much better value, particularly with the three months of both Meta Horizon+ and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate access as well.

Unfortunately, the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition bundle is your typical limited-edition run, and likely to be popular, so you'll need to act fast if you want to secure one for yourself before they disappear from the shelves forever.

You can currently purchase (while stocks last) the bundle from Best Buy if you're in the US, or Argos and EE if you're in the UK, if you're lucky enough to get one before it sells out. 

If you're not so lucky, you should consider picking up the Meta Quest 3. We have a massive list of the best Meta Quest 3 games, and the best free Meta Quest 3 games to keep your game library well-stocked, as well as the best VR games of 2025.
