A photo from the streaming ad includes information about the affordable headset This is the same price as the reasonably priced 64GB Oculus Quest 2, which came out in 2020 The photo shows 128GB of storage for $299, a significant increase from the Quest 2's storage

Rumor has it that the new headset will feature the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset as the Quest 3, making it more affordable to play Quest 3-specific games the Quest 3 has many great virtual reality games, but at $499 With prices starting at $499, some potential buyers may not be able to take the plunge into VR If the leaked price is accurate, a $299 model that is not four years old may attract new people to try VR and mixed reality apps
