Leaked Images Suggest Xbox-Branded Meta Quest 3S Could Launch Soon

Alright, let’s dive into this. So, picture this: the whole shebang about Xbox maybe skirting around virtual reality? Yeah, might’ve been way off base! There’s this thread—or, rather, there was one—on X (you know, it’s the artist formerly known as Twitter) that dropped some wild images of an Xbox-branded Meta Quest. But poof, thread’s gone now. I swear, the internet is like a magician who really hates showing off their tricks. Oh, and @bmfshow? They snagged those images before they disappeared into the digital ether.

Windows Central had the juicy gossip about a supposed Xbox VR headset last year, and bam, now it looks like you might snag one as soon as June 24, all for the jaw-dropping price of $399. Not too shabby, eh? This announcement rides the coattails of Xbox’s collab with Asus, where they’re rolling out these Xbox Ally handheld thingies. Meanwhile, poor Project Kennan—Xbox’s own console baby—got put in the corner. Sorry, Kennan.

Then there’s Gamesandwich.com spilling the beans about this black-and-green number, the Xbox Quest 3S, doing a sneaky launch for $399. Who even does shadow drops like these? Whatever—anyway, this gadget’ll come packed with 128GB of memory, an Elite Strap, an Xbox wireless controller, and even three sweet months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Kind of like getting your gaming cake and eating it, too.

Alright, what else we got? Ah, right, there’s this image of an Xbox—yeah, I remember when it dropped, loud and proud. Folks tore it apart back then, but hey, with Xbox spreading its wings to who-knows-how-many platforms, it kind of clicks now.

Our guy, Phil Spencer, the big cheese at Microsoft Gaming, used to shrug off the whole Xbox VR scene, saying nobody cared for it. Curious how things swivel, huh? The Xbox marketing pivoted big time with Xbox Cloud Gaming and all, letting some games play nice in VR. Cloud streaming’s probably still your back-end buddy here.

The “This is an Xbox” strategy? Expanding Xbox’s playground to everything from consoles and PCs to mobiles, TVs, VR headsets, and whatnot. Life comes at you fast, huh?

Oh, and if you’re still riding the Windows and Xbox train for the latest scoop, keep those eyes peeled for all the updates. It’s a wild ride.
