Xbox has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a chunky console. It’s recently taken on the form of an Asus gaming handheld<\/a>, and it might even be packaged as a VR headset soon. According to an image leaked on X<\/a> and Game Sandwich<\/em><\/a>, Xbox is reportedly teaming up with Meta to release an Xbox-branded Quest 3S headset in the coming days. The rumored specs show a very similar build to the base model Quest 3S with 128GB of storage, but will reportedly be bundled with an Xbox wireless controller, a Meta Quest Elite strap and three months of Xbox Game Pass.<\/p>\n There’s been no official announcement from Xbox or Meta yet, but a blog post<\/a> from 2024 noted that the two companies were working together to “create a limited-edition Meta Quest, inspired by Xbox.” While it’s important to take this rumor with a grain of salt, Xbox seems interested<\/a> in opening up its hardware for collaboration with other companies, as indicated by the recent release of the ROG Xbox Ally.<\/p>\n As for the rumored Xbox version of the Meta Quest 3S, those who already own the base model headset might not be the target demographic since you can already run Xbox Game Pass<\/a> on it. Instead, this VR headset could be marketed as a convincing entry point for anyone looking to get into VR and is already familiar with the Xbox ecosystem. According to Game Sandwich<\/em>‘s sources, this Xbox-branded VR headset will cost $399 and is set to drop on June 24.<\/p>\n If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
