“For the first time, we’re thrilled to deliver a Quest headset that not only delivers incredible mixed reality experiences but is also crafted for Xbox fans,” Microsoft corporate vice president of gaming partnerships and business development Lori Wright said.

As far as availability is concerned, the headset is available at Meta.com, Best Buy, Argos, and EE. However, Xbox wants it to be clear that this is a limited edition device. Insider Gaming understands that retailers like Best Buy only received two units per store, meaning if you want it, you’ll have to search or get their quicker than everyone else.
“Once they’re gone, they’re gone,” Wright said. “We’re proud of what we’ve built together with Meta, and we can’t wait for you to dive into everything the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition has to offer.”
