Black Friday is full of surprises, with discounts galore bringing our favorite tech down to their lowest prices yet. Speaking of, the VR headset I'd recommend for most just got the same treatment, as the Meta Quest 3 is now at an all-time low.
Right now the Meta Quest 3 with 512GB is $468 at Amazon ($31 off) and £25 off at Argos, and that's the lowest the VR headset has ever been. It's a rare sight to see any discounts on Meta's flagship headset, as in the past, it usually came with a free game or gift card instead. Still, this deal comes with a three-month subscription to Meta Horizon+, giving you free access to plenty of the latest VR games.
The Meta Quest 3 is the best standalone VR headset you can buy today, offering amazing VR games and plenty of features to boot, like streaming games on Xbox Game Pass, watching shows on Netflix on a massive screen and more. Yes, the Meta Quest 3S is also at its lowest price at $249, but for flagship specs, this is the deal for you.
I've been using the Meta Quest 3 since it launched, and with the steady number of updates it's seen and even more exclusive VR games on offer, it's just about the best VR headset I've used.
While the Quest 3S offers incredible value for the money, especially now that it's down to its lowest price for Black Friday, it can't match the visuals and comfort the Quest 3 offers up. Also, having 512GB of storage is a huge perk to have, especially considering just how big VR games get. Its previous lowest price was back in October 2024 for $471, so now it's dropped to a new low.
Between Batman: Arkham Shadow, Asgard's Wrath 2, Beat Saber and the very recent (and extremely fun) Marvel's Deadpool VR in its library of games, not to mention classics like Resident Evil 4, these make up many of the best VR games I've played.
There are plenty of ways to make the most of its clear, full-color passthrough for mixed reality experiences, too. That includes learning how to draw, watching shows on a massive screen while you cook up a storm and even linking it to a Windows 11 PC with Mixed Reality Link for even more screens for productivity.
So, for a premium standalone headset that continues to see major updates and new games to check out, and now down to its lowest price, it's worth putting the Meta Quest 3 on your wishlist, especially if you haven't jumped on the VR bandwagon yet.
There are even more Black Friday VR deals to scoop up, so don't miss your chance to find big savings on all things virtual reality. Of course, if the Quest 3 is still too pricey for your tastes, the Quest 3S is still a great option right now.
