Leaked Images Hint at Xbox-Branded Meta Quest 3S Release Imminent

Sure, I’ll give this a go. Let’s dive into this unusual whirlwind:

Okay, so here’s the crazy part. Xbox, which everyone thought was like, totally avoiding virtual reality like it was a bee at a picnic, might actually be jumping in. I mean, yeah, who’d have thunk it? Some deleted post on X (yeah, the thing that’s Twitter but not Twitter cuz, you know, reasons) showed these pics of an Xbox Meta Quest headset. And just as I’m trying to process this — bam! — @bmfshow pops up and slaps those images back online. Classic internet, am I right?

Anyway, — wait, hang on — Windows Central had spilled the beans on this Xbox VR chatter for 2024, right? And then, out of nowhere, it seems you might snag one of these bad boys as soon as June 24, just drop $399. Which is kinda neat, I guess? It’s like Xbox is throwing all these surprise parties or something.

Oh, and didn’t Xbox just team up with Asus for that Ally handheld thing? Feels like Xbox has kicked its own Project Kennan to the curb. I mean, why start a new project when you’ve got gadgets to spin, huh?

Side note: Gamesandwich.com — yes, that’s an actual site — claims this black and green wonder headset, Xbox Quest 3S, is about to stealth drop. June 24, mark it. $399 again. And it supposedly packs 128GB, doing the whole déjà vu like the regular Meta Quest 3S. Toss in an Elite Strap, a wireless controller, and you’re even getting a three-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trial. Sounds like a VR starter pack dream.

Anyway, here’s a quick tangent — oh geez, I almost forgot — Microsoft once got flak for their "This is an Xbox" thing. When it first hit, folks were not fans. Fast forward a bit, and that slogan feels way different now. It’s almost like they pulled a sneaky on everyone. Insert mysterious music here.

Remember Phil Spencer? Xbox’s main guy? Once upon a time, in the magical year of 2019, he flat-out said, "nobody’s asking for VR" on Xbox. But oh, how the times are a-changin’. With Xbox’s new Series X|S gen, and their powerhouse marketing stuff like Cloud Gaming (seriously, they should pay me for this promo), VR has snuck into the narrative. Oh, and let’s not forget, some games? Yeah, they were already doing their VR dance using Meta Quest headsets and Cloud Gaming.

So now, with this "This is an Xbox" strategy — or game plan, maybe — Xbox isn’t just about consoles and PCs anymore. Nope. It’s branching out like a vine grabbing mobile devices, TVs, VR headsets, and handhelds. Feels like they’re on a world domination tour or something!

If you’re thirsty for more chaotic Xbox vibes, stay tuned. Who knows what’s next? Aliens? Maybe not… but never say never.
