Meta\u2019s VR strategy is in a bit of an uncertain place right now, with the company recently cutting many jobs<\/a> at its Reality Labs, and discontinuing new content drops in beloved experiences like Supernatural<\/a>. Even so, there\u2019s still a lot of fun to be had with its Meta Quest 3S if you\u2019ve been curious about jumping in. It\u2019s a great entry-level headset, and the 128GB model is available at Walmart<\/a> with a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow for $249 ($50 off), which matches its Black Friday price. Currently, no other retailers are offering this sale price.<\/p>\n

The Quest 3S can play the same games as the pricier Meta Quest 3<\/a>, with Batman: Arkham Shadow and Maestro performing impressively well in our testing. Additionally, you can stream Xbox games with a Game Pass subscription and even wirelessly tether it to a gaming PC to play SteamVR games like Half-Life: Alyx. The Quest 3S is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor that\u2019s in the pricier Quest 3, although its display resolution and optics quality are on-par with the Quest 22. It features full-color passthrough, allowing you to see your surroundings without removing the headset. And, to top it off, it comes with the Quest 3\u2019s Touch Plus controllers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta\u2019s VR strategy is in a bit of an uncertain place right now, with the company recently cutting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":477487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[49,48,1639,195,64,61,124080,260,261,262],"class_list":{"0":"post-477486","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-deals","11":"tag-gadgets","12":"tag-tech","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-verge-shopping","15":"tag-virtual-reality","16":"tag-virtualreality","17":"tag-vr"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=477486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/477487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=477486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=477486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=477486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
