Why the sudden price drop? Blame the shiny new Meta Quest 3S reveal. This budget-friendly little brother strips back a few features but keeps the essentials to make VR more accessible.
Unveiled at Meta Connect, the Quest 3S drops you into VR for less, with prices at £289.99 / $299.99 for the 128GB version and £379.99 / $399.99 for 256GB. It’s around £200 / $200 cheaper than the regular Quest 3, so it’s perfect if you’re just dipping your toes into VR.
And here’s the kicker: Both the Quest 3 and Quest 3S come bundled with Batman: Arkham Shadow plus a three-month Meta Quest+ trial if you buy before the 30th April next year. Pre-orders are up now for the Quest 3S, which launches on the 15th October.

Batman: Arkham Shadow - The Dark Knight Returns in VR
Batman: Arkham Shadow is swooping back into the Arkhamverse, set between the events of Arkham Origins and Arkham Asylum.

Developed by Camouflaj (the folks behind Iron Man VR) and with some Arkham vets on board, this one’s shaping up to be a legit VR experience.
From stealthy takedowns to bone-crunching brawls, it’s that classic Arkham feel with a VR twist. Put on the cowl and plunge into Gotham’s shadows when the game drops on the 22nd October, exclusively for Meta Quest 3 VR.
