Meta appears to have accidentally leaked its upcoming VR headset, the Meta Quest 3S, through its own Windows Meta Quest Link PC software. The leak, discovered by UploadVR and shared on Reddit, reveals images of a headset that seems to be a mix between the Quest 2 and Quest 3.

The new headset, likely to be unveiled at Meta's Connect event on September 25th, features front-facing cameras arranged in two clusters of three, a departure from the Quest 3’s pill-shaped sensors. Accessories for the Quest 3S have already surfaced on platforms like AliExpress, adding credibility to the leaks.

There are rumors that the Quest 3S will be priced around $300 and could come without controllers, utilizing gesture controls similar to Apple's Vision Pro. This budget-friendly version is expected to be part of Meta’s expanding VR ecosystem, aimed at reaching more users with a lower entry cost.

Keep an eye on Meta's Connect event for the official announcement of the Quest 3S.
