That&#8217;s roughly \u00a3610 \/ AU$1,230 at today&#8217;s rates, although Meta is unlikely to use straight currency conversions for its international pricing.<\/p>\n<p>For comparison, the Meta Quest 3 currently goes for $499.99 \/ \u00a3469.99 \/ AU$1,049.99, while the pricing for the Meta Quest 3S begins at $299.99 \/ \u00a3289.99 \/ AU$499.99. We&#8217;re looking at quite the price hike \u2013 and Zeighami isn&#8217;t even sure controllers will be included.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, despite the way we&#8217;ve referred to the device here, this leak suggests that Meta will go with a new naming scheme for its next headset and abandon the Quest moniker \u2013 though as yet we have no idea what the new name is going to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.<\/p>\n<p>We might also have quite a while to wait for the headset: it&#8217;s rumored to be launching sometime in 2026 at the earliest.
