"Qualcomm's newest XR-specific silicon is optimized for the unique computational needs of virtual reality and it gives the processor twice the graphical processing power of the previous Quest 2 generation. Games load quickly so you don't have to wait around like you did with older headsets and complex scenes render smoothly at high frame rates, which is important for avoiding motion sickness."
"The next-generation graphics make the visuals almost as good as those on the PlayStation 5 and they do it in standalone wireless headset form factors, which means you don't need a gaming PC like you did with older VR systems, which were expensive and hard to use. The performance is good enough for demanding games like realistic simulators, fast-paced shooters and detailed adventure games that would stutter or crash on hardware that isn't powerful enough."
Meta released the Quest 3S as a lighter, more affordable variant that preserves core functionality while making strategic compromises to lower cost. The Quest 3S retail price dropped to $249 for the 128GB model during Black Friday, positioning it as an accessible entry into modern standalone VR compared with the $499 Quest 3. Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 provides roughly twice the graphical power of the Quest 2, enabling fast load times and smooth high-frame-rate rendering that helps prevent motion sickness. The headset includes 8GB of RAM, improving environment switching, texture loading, and responsiveness. The aggressive pricing, wireless freedom, and immediate access to 40+ games drive strong sales.
