Sharper optics, less eyestrain

Pancake lenses at roughly 2.2K resolution per eye deliver a sharper, more compact optical stack than the Fresnel lenses used in earlier Quest headsets, with less edge distortion.

Meta Reality mixed reality

Dual RGB cameras and depth sensing blend virtual objects into your real room with natural occlusion and colour passthrough, rather than the black-and-white passthrough of older headsets.

Touch Plus controllers with TruTouch

The redesigned, ring-free Touch Plus controllers sit closer to your hands and use TruTouch haptic feedback for more natural-feeling interactions, with no external tracking ring to catch on furniture.

Meta Quest 3 vs Meta Quest 3S

Both share the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset, Horizon OS and Touch Plus controllers. The Meta Quest 3 upgrades to pancake lenses and a wider field of view, while the Meta Quest 3S uses Fresnel lenses at a lower price point. Choose the Quest 3 for sharper optics and a wider FOV; choose the 3S to save on cost.

What's in the box

Meta Quest 3 headset, 2× Touch Plus controllers, and a USB-C charging cable.

Pair it with a battery head strap for longer sessions, a comfort head strap for extended wear, or a protective case for travel.

FAQ

Why choose 512GB over 128GB? More local storage for a larger installed library of games and apps without managing free space — the hardware is otherwise identical.

Does the Meta Quest 3 need a phone or PC to work? No — it's fully standalone. A PC is only needed for tethered PC VR games over Link or Air Link.

Are the controllers included? Yes, two Touch Plus controllers ship with every unit.

What's the warranty? 2 years on new units (1 year on refurbished units) — see our warranty policy.
