A new gaming experience has hit the market, blending the worlds of Xbox and virtual reality. The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition is now available, priced at $399. 99. This isn't just any VR headset; it's a special edition designed for Xbox enthusiasts.

The headset comes with a unique color scheme, featuring a green band and an Xbox logo. It also includes an Xbox wireless controller and Meta's Touch Plus controllers, all matching the headset's design. The setup process has been customized to reflect this Xbox theme, making it feel like a true Xbox experience.

One of the standout features is the ability to stream games from Xbox Cloud Gaming. With a three-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate included, users can dive into a variety of games. The headset offers two ways to play: an immersive virtual display or an augmented reality mode that places the game in your real-world environment.

While the gaming experience is impressive, there are some drawbacks. The low bitrate and resolution of Xbox Cloud Gaming can make games like Forza Horizon 5 look a bit blocky. However, the lack of noticeable lag makes up for it.

This collaboration between Meta and Microsoft is a clever way to bring Xbox gaming to VR. It's perfect for those who want to enjoy gaming without the hassle of a heavy console or a separate screen. However, the monthly subscription fee for Game Pass Ultimate might be a downside for some.

The Quest 3S Xbox Edition is now available in the US and UK, but quantities are limited. So, if you're interested, you might want to act fast.
