The VR market is hotting up once again with the launch of the Meta Quest 3, one of the few standalone headsets designed for consumers. Unlike many competitors, the device developed by Reality Labs - is backwards compatible with upwards of 500 VR games, apps and other activities available on the Meta Quest 2 - a huge win for anyone looking to bring over their back catalogue of titles.

When purchasing the VR device, you can expect to take home the Meta Quest 3 headset, a pre-installed adjustable standard facial interface, two Meta Quest Touch Plus controllers with pre-installed wrist straps, an 18W power adapter, a USB Type-C charging cable and a pair of AA batteries. A special offer also includes Asgard's Wrath 2 for the 128GB version and a Meta Quest Plus subscription for those who opt for the 512GB version.
