Save $47 on this Meta Quest 3S VR headset and get Batman Arkham Shadows for free

VR gaming is no longer the intimidating investment of the past, thanks to deals like this Walmart one on a Meta Quest 3S headset. Right now, you can save $47 and get a free game in the form of Batman Arkham Shadows, while also grabbing three months of the Quest+ subscription.

We have the Meta Quest 3S picked out as the best VR headset for gamers on a budget, but don't let that put you off, as this is a great-quality headset. Seen as an improvement over the Quest 2, while sitting as a price-conscious alternative to the Quest 3, Meta has also positioned this device as a great PCVR headset, and it's already surpassed the likes of the HTC Vive, Pico 4, and PSVR 2 according to the Steam hardware survey.

The Meta Quest 3S swaps out pancake lenses for Fresnel ones, has a lower per-eye resolution, and a slightly reduced field of view. However, it maintains the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 SoC, 8GB of RAM, and full-color passthrough of the full-spec Meta Quest 3, and even has a longer battery life.

While the Quest 3 is a great upgrade for Quest 2 owners, its $499 MSRP is steep, especially as an introduction to the hobby. At half the price, thanks to this current deal, the Quest 3S offers a great way to get into VR, be it through standalone experiences on the Quest store or by using it via Steam Link to connect to your gaming PC.

Meanwhile, Batman Arkham Shadow is one of the best Meta Quest 3S games, putting you behind the cowl of Bruce Wayne in a way that far surpasses the previous Batman VR experience. As for the Quest+ subscription, this will give you two free games every month while also offering access to a rotating library of iconic free games, such as Fruit Ninja and Tetris Effect.

Right now at Walmart, you can grab a Meta Quest 3S 128GB headset along with a free copy of Batman Arkham Shadow and three months of Quest+ goodness for just $251.49, saving $47.51 against the MSRP. There are limited units left at this price, though, so secure yours using this link.

If you plan on using your shiny new VR headset to play games using Xbox Game Pass, make sure you also grab one of the best PC controller picks from our buying guide, as you won't be able to use the included touch controllers.
