Meta Quest 3S is a standalone virtual reality (VR) headset developed by Reality Labs, a division of Meta Platforms. It was unveiled on September 25, 2024, and will be released on October 15, 2024, as part of the third generation of the Meta Quest line.
As with its predecessors, the Quest 3S is a standalone device running Meta Horizon OS, a derivative of Android Open Source Project (AOSP); VR games and apps can be run natively on the headset, or streamed from a gaming PC over USB-C or Wi-Fi. The Quest 3S is intended as an entry-level model complimenting 2023's Meta Quest 3, succeeding the Quest 2 at its price point; it shares some of its hardware and mixed reality capabilities with the Quest 3, but with lower-resolution displays and optics inherited from the Quest 2.
