It’s official. After days of speculation, Xbox and Meta have revealed the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition. This limited-edition bundle combines the Meta Quest 3S headset with Xbox-themed hardware and three months of Game Pass Ultimate.
The reveal confirms what many suspected after a recent leak showed off the headset’s custom design and included accessories. If you missed it, we covered that initial rumour here when the first image surfaced online.
This follows Xbox’s rollout of cloud gaming on Quest headsets late in 2023. If you want a refresher, check out our coverage from when Xbox Cloud Gaming became available on Meta Quest in December 2023.
Now that the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is real, let’s break down what’s in the box, how it works with Xbox Cloud Gaming, and where you can get one.
What’s in the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition Bundle
The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition comes fully loaded with accessories designed for cloud gaming. The headset itself features a Carbon Black finish with Velocity Green accents, matching the Xbox aesthetic. It also includes a custom pair of Touch Plus controllers and a limited-edition Xbox Wireless Controller with the same green highlights.
Everything in the box is ready to go out of the gate. You get:
- A 128GB Meta Quest 3S headset
- Matching Touch Plus controllers
- Limited-edition Xbox Wireless Controller
- Elite Strap for added comfort
- 3 months of Meta Horizon+
- 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
The included Xbox controller comes pre-paired to the headset and works right away. You can also pair other Xbox controllers via Bluetooth, including the Elite Series 2 and Adaptive Controller.
Cloud Gaming with the Xbox App on Meta Quest 3S
The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is built around Xbox Cloud Gaming. Once you sign in with your Game Pass Ultimate account, you can stream hundreds of games directly to the headset using the Xbox app. Titles like Avowed, South of Midnight, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered are part of the growing lineup.
You can also access the “Stream Your Own Game” feature, which lets you stream select cloud-playable games you already own. Xbox recently added Final Fantasy XVI, Cyberpunk 2077, Outer Wilds, and more to that collection. We regularly cover the newest additions. You can find the latest Stream Your Own Game titles here.
The Xbox app on Quest turns the headset into a portable cloud gaming display. It supports cross-play and cross-progression, so your save data and achievements travel with you. You can start a game in VR, switch to your console or PC later, and keep going without missing a beat.
