The classic hero’s quest is a journey where a character embarks on an adventure to solve challenges, see the world, learn more about themselves and emerge transformed. A Meta Quest headset is a mixed-reality journey waiting to happen — one that you as the user create for yourself, discovering limitless possibilities. You become your own hero. You transform.
What kind of hero do you want to be? The Quest lets you decide: Slide on the headset, and the next-level tech allows you to do everything from circuit training and taking fitness notes from sculpted celebrities to watching movies and smashing through games as you never have before, as well as diving headfirst (literally, if you’d like) into interactive virtual reality (VR) experiences that unveil a whole other world.

But that’s barely scratching the surface of what you can do with the Meta Quest 3 ($499.99) or Quest 3S (starting at $299.99). Here are some other tantalizing options to explore on whatever journey you choose.
Meta Quest 3S
Get into the Best Shape of Your Life
If you’re looking for more earthbound challenges, skip the (physical) gym and test your fitness limits from the comfort of your home. Whether on the Quest 3 or Quest 3S, the wireless design allows you to move freely and sweat to your heart’s content. Don’t just shadowbox; box for real with FitXR, hitting virtual objects and sprinting from one target to the next. Or get your dose of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) backdropped by stunning locales with Supernatural. Find your zen and strengthen your core doing yoga poses on Alo Moves XR. Open up Les Mills XR Dance to coordinate your steps alongside pro dancers standing right in front of you. Your Quest gym is virtual, impossibly vivid, and always waiting for you.
Get the Savviest Celebrities to Sweat with You

If pro fitness coaches and dancers aren’t quite enough, look to musclebound celebrities to tone up. Hollywood and fitness icon Jane Fonda has teamed with Meta Quest’s Supernatural workout game to showcase its features, while stars like Tiffany Haddish cameo as guest coaches on the app. The comedian cracks jokes and keeps your heart rate up with routines including boxing, stretching, and guided meditation that take place in virtually realized destinations from Portugal to Bolivia (no airfare necessary). Users can also choose their favorite celebrity voice for Meta AI, such as Dame Judi Dench, John Cena, Awkwafina, Kristen Bell and Keegan Michael Key; while stars including Jessica Chastain, Tilda Swinton, Millie Bobby Brown previously lent their voices to a Celebrity Storytelling program.
Give Your Gaming a Cinematic Upgrade
From YouTube to Prime Video, the Quest upgrades any home viewing experience into a theater-worthy, widest-of-widescreen spectacle that beats out any TV. Gaming levels up, too; jump right into the action in Gotham with Batman: Arkham Shadow, included in your headset purchase. Or stream any number of Xbox games from Halo Infinite to Forza Motorsport; the controller becomes a natural extension of your hands, and the gameplay unfolds on a massive 2D virtual display that puts your old gaming days to shame.
Immerse Yourself in Another Reality

Keyboards feel ancient on the Quest, which enables you to move virtual objects and engage with apps by simply swiping your hands in the air. The same is true for our very plane of existence: On any Quest device, plunging yourself into another country, world, or even universe is as simple as dreaming it up. Swim with whales deep in the sea via Ocean Rift, create and share your own Tron-like fourth dimension on Rival, or open Brink Traveler to stand on an icy mountain peak.
Mark Your Quest
Meta Quest 3 VR headset Meta
Whichever journey you’re on, Meta makes it easier (and more affordable) than ever to pick the headset product that’s right for you. The recently released Meta Quest 3S opens up all kinds of mixed-reality paths at an unprecedentedly accessible price point: $299.99 for 128GB storage space, or $399.99 for 256GB to enjoy double the possibilities.
The Meta Quest 3 is loaded with 512GB of storage ($499.99) and provides hardcore users with everything they need to fuel their most lavish adventures. It’s the ultimate headset, featuring the Infinite Display with the widest (110-degree horizontal) field of view of any Quest, 4K resolution, and luxuriously lightweight comfort that allows you to focus on the joys of the journey rather than the hardware behind it.
Soon you can match your Quest to your personality, too. Upcoming color and design releases turn the wonder-generating gear into a stylish statement piece you can proudly place on your mantle.
