I've had an OG "Oculus" 64Gb Quest 2 for 3.5 years now which I used for both native and PCVR gaming and was pretty happy with it. I wanted a Quest 3 but wasn't prepared to pay the £619 RRP. I decided to wait until it was under £500 before taking the plunge. Once the 3S was announced they dropped the price of the 512Gb model (whilst discontinuing the 128Gb and Quest 2) to a very reasonable £469 with Batman Arkham Shadow and 3 months free Quest+ subscription. I was impressed with the jump in hardware quality verses the Quest 2. The pancake lenses and resolution being immediately noticeable, as well as a much snappier overall response from the CPU/GPU. Being a PCVR gamer too I'm used to high end graphics and can honestly say the graphics on the Quest 3 are very impressive for the hardware limitations. Batman Arkham Shadow and Asgard's Wrath 2 for example, look fantastic. Even older titles that looked washed out on Quest 2 look significantly improved, with a lot of them getting "upgrades" for Quest 3. I'd say it's on a par with Xbox 360 graphically. It misses out on the usual GPU intensive additions such as high end textures, shadows/lighting etc. which are to be expected, but still very impressive for mobile hardware. Air Link/Steam Link/Virtual Desktop all work as expected for PCVR gaming and again, the pancake lenses really make everything look so much crisper than the blurry Quest 2 lenses with their tiny sweet spot. These are the positives of the Quest 3. The negatives are mainly to do with what I'd deem as mandatory third party additions: 1. Head strap with battery (this is pretty much essential if you want to play for a long time without interruption and proper comfort). If you have to make one extra purchase, this would be top of the list. 2. Facial interface (whilst improved vastly over the Quest 2, it's still not comfortable enough and also has no nose guard to block light which breaks immersion). 3. Grips (the wrist grips aren't really that good, so proper grips are also required) 4. Prescription lenses (not everyone needs glasses, but if you do, these are much better than wearing glasses, even with the built in spacer and they slot in perfectly). I've been using it a full month now and it's been great, it's such an improvement over Quest 2 and feels like Meta are really going in the right direction with VR. I hope this continues and they keep pushing the hardware, because it's certainly putting out some great VR gaming experiences so far, with Metro Awakening (which supports cross-buy) on the horizon (at time of review), for example. UPDATE: The only other negative is Meta's obsession with Horizon Worlds, which imo is very poor, they seem to be pushing this "app" more than the actual "games" the platform was built upon. I uninstalled it (but it appears it's going to be baked into the forthcoming v76 build whether you want it or not!). UPDATE: Six months later and it's definitely still a worthy purchase. If you sideload Quest Games Optimizer, you can immediately improve graphical fidelity, by instantly improving resolution and/or CPU/GPU performance with profiles. A real game changer, with just the resolution increase alone. You can also sideload ports of older games via SideQuest, such as Doom 3, Castle Wolfenstein, Quake 3 etc. so even more options for gaming. Due to the extra cost of third party peripherals, I would give it 4.5 stars overall (Updated April 2025)

The Meta Quest 3 is an incredible VR headset. The 512GB storage is generous, easily accommodating multiple large games without worry. Its display resolution is genuinely impressive, with sharp visuals and stunning clarity, enhancing immersion significantly. Controllers feel precise and responsive, and the mixed reality experiences are next-level—absolutely seamless integration into your environment. The headset is comfortable for extended use, although it does become slightly heavy over time. Nonetheless, this is by far the most impressive standalone headset available—highly recommended for gamers and VR enthusiasts alike!

I have to say, this has been an amazing experience. The amount of games and the possibilities with this headset are just insane—it’s honestly worth every penny. Whether I’m jumping into fast-paced action games, exploring huge open worlds, or just hanging out in VR, it always feels immersive and exciting. The only small downside is the battery life. If you’re just playing for short sessions, it’s totally fine, but for longer playtimes, you’ll definitely notice the battery draining faster than you’d like. That’s why I highly recommend getting a 5m link cable. It not only lets you keep playing without worrying about battery life, but it also makes PC VR games look even better. It just takes the experience to another level and makes long gaming sessions way smoother. Honestly, this product does not disappoint. If you’re even considering getting into VR, I’d say go for it—there’s so much to experience, and having the right setup makes it even better. Highly recommend!

The Meta Quest 3 has completely blown me away. The visual quality is a huge step up from previous models — crisp, vibrant, and incredibly immersive. The mixed reality features are surprisingly intuitive and open up a whole new level of gameplay and experiences. It’s noticeably lighter and more comfortable to wear, even during longer sessions. Setup was quick and easy, and the tracking is super accurate with no noticeable lag. I also love that it works both standalone and with a PC for more demanding titles. Whether you're new to VR or upgrading from an older headset, the Quest 3 delivers on performance, comfort, and future potential. Couldn’t be happier with it! Fully recommend you try Batman Arkham Shadow (which as included upon purchase) and Beatsaber!

The Meta Quest 3 has completely blown me away! From the moment I put it on, I was instantly immersed in a world like no other. The visuals are stunning, and the clarity is fantastic, making everything feel incredibly real and engaging. One of the best experiences for me has been watching movies in VR. It’s like having your own private cinema right in the comfort of your home. The screen feels enormous, and the experience is so enjoyable. It really feels like you're sitting in a movie theater but without the crowds or expensive tickets. Plus, the comfort of the headset with a 3rd party strap makes it so easy to settle in for long movie sessions – no discomfort, just pure enjoyment. I do not recommend using the supplied with head strap, you will regret it! Overall, the Meta Quest 3 is an incredibly immersive and impressive piece of tech. It’s perfect for both gaming and entertainment. If you’ve ever wanted to experience VR to its fullest, this is the device to get. Highly recommend! Would be 5 stars if not for the awful head strap.

Absolutely amazing technology. Every new feature on this device you discover will have you in awe. Rated 4 stars due to batery life , but that is just a compromise you are taking when buying a standalone VR. There are ways around it, like keeping it plugged into a wall socket (Purchase an additional 3-5m cable for comfort). This keeps the headset battery life stable, or as other suggest , a BobVR headband that has a powerbank mounted to it. This just extends battery life. I highly reccomend this product for gamers , artists and people looking to spend more time on a hobby. i.e. Golf or Fishing. I've also tested the PC link , and it is awesome. This product is suitable for work purposes. Feels like your computer in an in-home-theater.

Perfect condition and everything as promised. The VR experience is mindblowing though most of the apps and experiences need to be bought. Quest + subscription give access to a limited library for 8 dollars a month. My opinion the product is definitely worth the spend
