The Quest 3S is once again on sale for $250 and comes with a $50 gift card from Best Buy, a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners.
On Black Friday 2025, the headset’s 128GB model was on sale for $250 ($50 off the regular price of $300) and the 256GB storage model was on sale for $330 ($70 off the regular price of $400), with the sale ending after December 2nd. On top of this, Best Buy was offering a $110 bonus. Now, Meta has brought back sales and Best Buy has brought back deals as well.
You can find deals on the 128GB base model of the Quest 3S here and deals on the 256GB model here.
Both sales end after January 3rd at 11:59pm PT, giving you plenty of time to order your holiday gifts.
In either case, as with all new Meta Quest headset purchases, you’ll get a 3-month Meta Horizon+ subscription.
For example, with a $50 Best Buy gift card, you can get an Elite Strap to make your headset more comfortable for just $20, and a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (regularly $30) lets you play popular flatscreen games like Call of Duty on a giant virtual screen.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners also typically costs $30 and is widely considered to be one of the best VR games of all time due to its physics-based combat system, earning it an “Essential” score in our review.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Review – The Best Zombie Apocalypse Ever
With two major updates, there’s never been a better time to start playing The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. Read our review of 2021’s The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. Note: This is an updated review based on The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners after the second free version
Although the Quest 3S can run all the same content as the Quest 3 and has the same basic features (including the same XR2 Gen 2 chipset and 8GB RAM), we always recommend the Quest 3 over the Quest 3S if you have the funds. The proper Quest 3 features Meta’s advanced pancake lens, which is clearer and sharper over a wider area, has a wider field of view, is fully adjustable horizontally, and is basically suitable for everyone’s eyes. These pancake lenses allow the Quest 3 to be thinner, reducing the headset’s weight slightly.
Still, at $250 and $110 worth of perks, the Quest 3S is hard to turn down, and could be the impulse gift for a holiday season when you want to take your friends and loved ones into VR or mixed reality.
