Membership has its privileges, and one underrated aspect of Xbox Game Pass (besides free access to hundreds and hundreds of top games for both your PC and your Xbox console) is how it unlocks exclusive prices and deals. Case in point: New and existing Game Pass subscribers at any tier can snag a VR headset and software for 34% off.
Xbox Game Pass + Meta Quest 3S Deal
Get your first month of Game Pass for $1, then $9.99/month and big discounts on games and hardware
If you’ve put off jumping into virtual reality until now, Microsoft and Meta are making it easier than ever. Xbox Game Pass subscribers have access to a bundle deal that snags them a Meta Quest 3S headset, controllers, two of the most engaging and addictive games on the system in Batman: Arkham Shadow and Bear Saber, and a three-month trial to Meta Horizon+, which is kind of like the VR equivalent of Game Pass, giving you free monthly titles.
The Meta Quest 3S won our Editors’ Choice award for consumer-grade VR headsets, with writer Will Greenwald saying that it “is all you need to get started with VR” in his review. With a faster processor, color-pass-through cameras for augmented reality applications, the ability to operate tethered to a PC or independently, and a massive library of software, it’s a well-constructed kit that’ll bring hours and hours of fun. Throw in two excellent games, and it’s an even better deal.
(Xbox/Meta)
Both Beat Saber and Batman: Arkham Shadow made our list of the best VR games out there. Arkham Shadow is described as “an impressive, narrative-driven story packed with rhythmic action, clever gadget use, free-flowing combat, and tense stealth scenarios.” And Beat Saber is praised for the level of physical activity and engagement it brings to the music game genre.
(Xbox/Meta)
Meta Horizon+ is a subscription service that costs $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Subscribers get two free games every month, along with access to a catalog of over 50 additional titles. It also provides additional deals, discounts, and offers. Totally worth it.
This bundle would normally retail for $379.99, but Game Pass subscribers can get everything for just $249.99.
