Sure thing, here’s a more human, kind of jumbled take on that:
—
You know, I wonder if all the chatter about Xbox dodging the VR scene was just noise. I stumbled on this deleted post on X (which, by the way, we used to just call Twitter). It had pics, like legit, of an Xbox-branded Meta Quest. Oh, and shoutout to @bmfshow for picking it up and giving it new life.
Someone tweeted, “Holy heck this looks amazing!!!” And, honestly? Same. I barely knew I wanted it until I saw it. June 20, 2025 — mark that down or don’t. Calendars are overrated.
Now, remember when Windows Central hinted at this sneaky Xbox VR headset back in 2024? Well, turns out, you might actually snag one come June 24. Price tag? About $399, which kinda seems like just the right level of temptation. Xbox is busy too. They’ve got this thing going with Asus — Xbox Ally and Ally X. But… what happened to their own Project Kennan handheld? Did it just vanish? Maybe they didn’t send out the memo.
So Gamesandwich.com (so many new sites these days) spills the beans about this black and green Quest 3S. Supposedly, it’s hitting shelves, or maybe just the virtual carts, same ol’ price, $399. Talks of 128GB, which is like the usual Meta Quest 3S but dressed up in Xbox’s mood. In the package, cozying up? An Elite Strap, Xbox wireless controller, and a cheeky three months of Game Pass Ultimate. Sweet deal if you’re asking me… or anyone, really.
And then there’s that “This is an Xbox” tagline, which at first had folks all up in arms. But you know what? Makes more sense now as Xbox spreads its wings into mobiles, TVs, VR—pretty much anything with a screen and possibly without. Phil Spencer (head honcho at Microsoft Gaming) back in 2019 was like, “VR? Meh, nobody’s barking for it.” How times change, huh? Now, maybe VR’s finally getting its stage time.
Xbox with this mix-n-match strategy is such a ride. Consoles? Yeah. Windows PCs? Check. Mobiles, VR, and handhelds? Why not. There’s that tiny string of cloud gaming still holding things together. I suppose if you want to Xbox in VR, cloud’s your buddy.
Newsletters at the end? Yeah, they’re still a thing forever trying to keep Windows and Xbox fans in the loop. Kind of feels like yelling into the void sometimes, but hey, who doesn’t love a good heads-up in their inbox?
Anyway, where was I… oh right, Xbox and VR. Should be exciting. Or not. Who really knows until you’re actually strapped into the thing, right?
