Meta Quest+ includes two curated titles per month, while you can download over 500 experience apps — such as YouTube, Netflix, Amazon’s Prime Video and others. Ideal for completely immersing yourself in a movie, TV show or an NBA game this season.

In addition, the Meta Quest 3S is available for purchase at Walmart and Amazon.

Meanwhile, the headset is powered with the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 (Gen 2) processor, which is the the same chip inside of last year’s Meta Quest 3 headset. This results in detailed and smooth graphics, as well as crystal clear and rich 3D audio with booming bass for a better immersive experience.

Overall, the new Meta Quest 3S is the best way to enter the world of mixed reality, especially if you’re a beginner. This is thanks to its ease of use, comfort and wide range of experiences, including in gaming, entertainment, fitness, wellness, social media and more.

The Meta Quest 3S goes for $299.99 for the 128GB model, or $399.99 for double the storage at 256GB, at Target, Walmart and Amazon. In the meantime, watch an introduction video for the headset, below:
