You don’t need an Xbox to play Xbox video games anymore, thanks to a new partnership with Meta and Microsoft.
Priced at $399.99, the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition comes with 128GB of on-board storage, a pair of Meta Touch Plus controllers, a Meta Elite Strap for additional support for longer gaming sessions and an Xbox Wireless Controller. It also comes in the gaming console’s signature colorway, Carbon Black and Velocity Green.
And best of all? You don’t need an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S to play popular titles for the gaming consoles. It’s designed for cloud gaming. Just slip on the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition, sync the Xbox Wireless Controller to the headset vis Bluetooth, navigate to the Xbox app and start playing your favorite Xbox games in true immersion on an adjustable “floating” display.
In fact, the bundle comes with a three-month membership of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for free, so you can play games, like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Starfield, Hi-Fi Rush, Forza Motorsport, South of Midnight, EA Sports FC 25, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Avowed, Towerborne and much more online. You just need the headset, a wireless controller and a steady Wi-Fi connection (at least 20 Mbps or higher) to start playing games.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate goes for $19.99 per month after the three-month trial period is over.
Meanwhile, you can play popular VR titles, like like Beat Saber, Gorilla Tag, BONELAB, Batman: Arkham Shadow, Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, Among Us VR, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII: VR and others.
Additionally, the Meta x Xbox bundle comes a three-month subscription to Meta Horizon+, a service with access to Meta’s own catalog of games, including Asgard’s Wrath 2, Dungeons of Eternity, Walkabout Mini Golf, Demeo, and others, and music experience apps, such as Synth Riders, Virtuoso, Spotify, PianoVision, PatchWorld and more. Meta Horizon+ goes for $7.99 per month, or $59.99 per year, but you can cancel the service anytime before the three month subscription expires.
