Writing on Dealabs, they claimed it’s likely to be announced at Meta Connect 2024, which is running from September 25-25, and will reportedly launch worldwide on October 15, 2024.
Meta Quest 3S prices are expected to start at $299.99 / £289.99 / €329.99 for a 128GB headset, with a 256GB model costing $399.99 / £379.99 / €439.99.
Meta Quest 3 launched last October priced at $499.99 / £479.99 / €549.99 for the 128GB headset, and $649.99 / £619.99 / €699.99 for the 512GB model.
