A cheaper version of the Quest 3 is apparently on the way, and early specs have been leaked. But are they good enough to justify an upgrade?

New leaks suggest that the Meta Quest 3 Lite — or Quest 3s — will take Quest 3 specs and put them into a headset reminiscent of the Quest 2.

Meta may soon release a budget-friendly version of the Meta Quest 3, potentially called the Meta Quest 3 Lite or Quest 3s (with an apparently intentional lowercase s). This is according to leaks from @Lunayian on Twitter that suggest this new VR headset will offer many of the Quest 3's features at a lower price.

Basically, this leak suggests the Quest 3 Lite has the Quest 3’s brain, and the Quest 2’s body. One key detail we’re still missing is the price. According to previous leaks the Quest 3 Lite will be cheaper than the Meta Quest 3 – something supported by the specs leaked here – but it’s unclear exactly how much it will cost.

A new Quest 3 Lite leak gives us a better idea of what to expect from Meta's 2024 headset, including performance, comfort, software, and passthrough.

Leaks reveal the specifications for the upcoming Meta Quest 3 Lite headset, and some of the choices may be disappointing for eager VR fans.
