Meta's Quest 3S was just announced, and these worthwhile games headed to the budget-friendly headset might just convince you to treat yourself.

Meta recently announced the new Meta Quest 3S mixed reality headset to sit between the Quest 2 and Quest 3 in the lineup. The headset won't go on sale for a few more days, but you can already save some money by ordering it with the Elite Strap in this bundle.

Meta Quest 3S pre-orders are now live at Amazon in the UK for the standard RRP. You'll find both the 128GB and 256GB models up for grabs with free speedy shipping for Prime members after release day.

Looking to get into VR? Meta has announced a new, cheaper version of the Meta Quest 3, the Meta Quest 3S, available to pre-order now.
