Meta Quest 3S review: Finally, mixed reality at an affordable price point

I’ve been reviewing (many would say playing) with the Meta Quest 3S since the VR headset landed on my desk in early October - (The Independent)

If the Apple Vision Pro’s eye-watering £3,499 price tag has got you questioning the affordability of mixed reality tech, you’re not alone. Apple’s struggling to shift its expensive headset, and Meta’s taking its chances to get ahead.

Last year, Meta launched the Meta Quest 3 – the company’s first full-colour passthrough headset. Already significantly cheaper than the Apple Vision Pro, Meta’s now launched the Meta Quest 3S, its most affordable and accessible mixed reality device yet. Aimed at more casual gamers, you can now dive into both VR and mixed reality experiences for less than £300.
