Unboxing the Meta Quest 3 VR headset with a one week review, showing how it compares vs the Quest 2. Sadly it's not all good news, as this 2023 Meta Quest 3 is actually worse than the older headset for tracking with fitness games.

I've found that this upgraded VR set, with its ring-less controllers, often loses track of my hands when I'm boxing with Les Mills or moving quickly. So if you're thinking of buying the Meta Quest 3 for exercise, think again! Likewise, it's no lighter, although the improved strap is a definite upgrade.

In other areas, the Meta Quest 3 VR headset is a step up vs the 2. Performance and the visual fidelity have been boosted, so hopefully we'll have lots of next-gen games taking advantage. Audio is A Plus again, while the more slender design is certainly appreciated.

Battery life is no better, but you can always throw more cash at Zuck for a Meta Quest 3 battery pack. So overall, if you already own 2, the Meta Quest 3 is not going to be worth that £500-plus asking price. But if you're new to VR gaming and fancy a standalone headset, this is a solid option vs the Pico 4.

Let us know your own Quest 3 thoughts below, and stay tuned for my best games round-up!
