Cyber Monday deals are here with Black Friday firmly in the rear window, and if you're in the market for a Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S, the immersive mixed-reality headset that Laptop Mag gave its Editor's Choice award this year, that's great news.

Whether you already have this innovative headset or want to pick one up, the headset itself only gets you so far, you'll need to experience something in it. Enter a newly announced deal that helps with that: Through Tuesday, December 3, you can save up to 40% off apps and games if you buy a Quest 3 or Quest 3S directly from Meta.

👉 You can save 20% on games or apps and get a $60 Quest Cash Store Credit when you purchase a Quest through this link from Laptop Mag.

Meta's Quest 3 offers a lot: It's affordable (compared to the Vision Pro), has a big ecosystem of games and apps, and while it may not have the Vision Pro's next-gen mini-OLED screen, it still offers a fairly high resolution that makes watching movies or playing games feel immersive.

What about the Quest 3S?

Through December 3, Meta is also putting several apps and games on sale, with discounts of up to 40%.

This 256GB version of the 3S comes bundled with Batman: Arkham Shadow and a 3-Month Trial of Meta Quest+. In a recent feature story, we write that Batman is "a must-play game, and that makes the Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S a must-buy console."

We gave the Meta Quest 3S our Editor's Choice award, advising in our review that "if you're someone who wants to dip their toes into mixed reality or VR and aren't necessarily concerned with having a more premium experience, then the Quest 3S is basically a no-brainer."

This 128GB version of the 3S comes bundled with Batman: Arkham Shadow and a 3-Month Trial of Meta Quest+. In a recent feature story, we write that Batman is "a must-play game, and that makes the Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S a must-buy console."

👉 Best Buy price: $299

The Quest 3S might not get anything knocked off its price — it was just released and is already selling for an almost unfathomable $299 for the 128GB version — but there may be some bundles to take advantage of.

It's worth checking in at the official Meta store and other major retailers to see if you can snag Quest 3S with some perks.

We've already seen the Quest 3 bundled with must-play games like Batman: Arkham Shadow, so maybe we'll see a similar play with the Quest 3S. Again, check all the major retailers and Meta's own store if you want to get in on any potential deals.
