We see a controller that looks to be the same Touch Plus controller that is available with the Quest 3. It has been suggested that Meta might not ship the headset with the controllers to get to a lower price at retail, but based on this leak, it may come with the Touch Plus controller.

Based on everything we know, the Quest 3S will boast the Quest 3’s Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset, but a bulkier body and lower-spec displays so it can target a lower price tag – hopefully, somewhere around the Meta Quest 2 ’s $299 / £299 / AU$479.

HTC has just announced its brand new VR headset, the Vive Focus Vision, and instead of directly going after the Meta Quest's crown (and price point), it seems to be setting itself up as an "everything headset" closer to what Apple did earlier this year… except good.

Just weeks remain until Meta is expected to lift the lid on the Quest 3S, the spiritual successor to the multi-million-selling Quest 2 VR headset.

A leaked image suggests Meta is developing a budget VR headset, the Quest 3S, with a design combining elements of Quest 2 and Quest 3.

Meta appears to have accidentally leaked the render for the upcoming Quest 3S virtual reality headset on Meta Quest Link PC software files.

Meta will likely announce its new Quest 3S headset in a little over a week at Meta Connect, but that hasn't stopped leakers from giving us early info.
