Black Friday is long gone, but you can still snap up an incredible deal on Meta’s standalone virtual reality headsets. More specifically, the Meta Quest 3S is available for as little as £249.99 (was £289.99).

That’s a price cut that has arrived just in time for Christmas.

Deal on the world’s best affordable VR headset

You can read our extensive Meta Quest 3S review for a full rundown of what we thought of it. But, if you’re short on time, know that we rated it an impressive 4.5 stars for its good specs and fantastic Horizon OS software. According to our experts, it’s "the world’s best affordable VR headset".

In particular, we love its power to support heavy applications like fast-action gaming, seamless full-colour, high-resolution passthrough and so much more. The new Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor makes it twice as quick as the Meta Quest 2, so if you’ve been thinking about upgrading, you’ll notice a performance upgrade.

This deal expires on the 21st of December, which doesn’t give you too long to decide. If you’d like to explore other ways to save, then head over to our Meta discount codes hub.
