Meta Join 2024 is quick approaching, and one of many bulletins we’ll virtually actually get on September 25 will probably be for the Meta Quest 3S.

91Mobiles has shared particulars of certifications from every awarded to a brand new Meta machine named ‘P97’ – with Dekra’s doc including that it’s a VR headset.
Even when P97 is one way or the other a beforehand unheard-of Meta gadget, given the corporate’s typical announcement cycle – which includes revealing and releasing new {hardware} at its annual Meta Join showcase in late September/early October – these particulars seemingly verify we’ll see one thing on September 25. So when you deliberate to lastly purchase a VR headset you would possibly wish to wait a bit longer to see what Meta showcases.
The VR headset you’ve got been ready for
It’s straightforward to get hyped for high-end {hardware} – which is why you could be unhappy to see reviews of the Meta Quest Professional 2’s cancellation, after which comfortable to listen to separate leaks that the Quest Professional 2 has perhaps as an alternative morphed into a really completely different form of headset – however for me the Quest 3S announcement has me tremendous excited.
I like the Meta Quest 3 – if I didn’t assume it was improbable I wouldn’t have awarded it 5 stars in our Meta Quest 3 assessment – however whereas it’s nice worth for cash it’s nonetheless quite a bit pricier than its predecessor the Meta Quest 2, costing $499.99 / £479.99 / AU$799.99 as an alternative of the sooner model’s $299 / £299 / AU$479 at launch.
