has
seemingly
got
their
hands
on
the
Xbox-branded
Quest
3S
early
and
has
shared
images
of
the
packing,
as
well
as
what
looks
like
a

ORIGINAL
STORY:
Since
abandoning
the
classic
console
exclusivity
business
model,

Xbox
has
begun
infecting
other
parties
with
its
sneaky,
green
tendrils.
The
recently
announced
ROG
Xbox
Ally
X
is
a
prime
example.
And
now,
according
to
a
new
report,
Xbox
is
teaming
up
with
Meta
to
release
an
Xbox-branded
Quest
3s.

The
report
comes
from
the
fantastically
named
gamesandwich.com.
While
the
name
is
funny,
the
people
running
the
site
have
a
lot
of
experience
covering
the
industry
and
have
a
proven
track
record.
They
accurately
predicted
that

Tony
Hawk’s
Pro
Skater
3+4
would
launch
on
July
13th,
and
broke
the
news
of
a
Deadpool
VR
game.

According
to
them,
sources
have
shared
that
the
new
Quest
3S
will
be
shadow-dropped
on
June
25,
and
will
be
priced
at
$399.

Don’t
get
too
excited,
though,
because
there’s
nothing
special
under
the
hood.
According
to
article
author
Kevin
Lopez,
it
will
be
a
green
and
black
headset
with
matching
accessories.
But
it
will
come
with
an
Elite
Strap
and
an
Xbox
wireless
controller,
along
with
3
months
of
Xbox
Game
Pass
Ultimate.

In
other
words,
it’s
a
regular
Meta
Quest
3S,
just
with
an
Xbox
theme.

Of
course,
the
headset
cannot
natively
run
Xbox
games,
but
what
you
can
do
is
stream
games
via
Xbox
Cloud
Gaming
and
use
the
headset
as
a
massive
projector,
enabling
you
to
play
stuff
like
DOOM:
The
Dark
Ages
on
a
massive
screen.

It’s
a
weird
move,
in
many
respects.
VR
gaming
remains
a
very
small
niche,
and
streaming
games
to
a
headset
is
an
even
smaller
niche,
so
it’s
unlikely
this
will
do
anything
for
Xbox’s
Game
Pass
numbers.
But
it
does
play
into
Xbox’s
current
marketing
campaign
of
everything
being
an
Xbox.
