However, the 3S features the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor and the same white shell as the 3, making its cheaper price point all the more enticing. Our Gaming Content Creator Jasmine Mannan gave the Meta Quest 3S a glowing five-star review, saying it provides gamers with ‘an exceptional level of comfort, high performance and amazing graphics’.

“I’m super impressed with the Meta Quest 3S,” she said. “Games look absolutely stunning. Trying out Batman: Arkham Shadow on both the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S, I was expecting a pretty big difference in terms of graphics but this wasn’t the case at all. For those who are yet to upgrade from the Meta Quest 2 or are looking into getting into virtual reality for the first time then the Meta Quest 3S is a fantastic option.”
Arkham Shadow is the latest virtual reality Batman game, set between the events of Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Asylum. Gamers can immerse themselves in the gritty world of Gotham City playing as the Dark Knight himself, utilising the gadgets and fighting styles reimagined from the hit Arkham franchise.
The game’s official synopsis reads: “Chaos has consumed Gotham City. Driven by a mysterious new villain, cultish devotees are flooding the streets with destruction and violence. The city needs its hero and that hero is you.”
The Meta Quest 3S isn’t the only virtual reality headset on the market, with rivals including the PlayStation VR2. For gamers with a PlayStation 5 console, the VR2 is touted as the ‘next generation’ of VR gaming, with ‘intuitive’ controls and 4K HDR visuals.
It is available from a range of retailers including Amazon for £489, while Game and PlayStation offer it for £529.99.
