Meta Quest 3 and 3S officially launch in Singapore – the first in Southeast Asia

Singapore has become the first in Southeast Asia to launch Meta Quest 3 and 3S mixed reality headsets, now available for S$440.

If you’ve been waiting to dive into mixed reality, you’re in luck. You can officially buy the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S in Singapore. This launch makes Singapore the first country in Southeast Asia where these headsets are available for purchase.

Meta, the company behind popular platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has opened its official Singapore online store, where you can get both devices. The Meta Quest 3 is available in a 512GB model for S$720, while the more affordable Meta Quest 3S starts at S$440 for the 128GB version and S$580 for the 256GB version.

What can you do with the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S?

These headsets are designed to give you a hands-free, fully immersive mixed-reality experience. You can watch your favourite shows and videos on apps like YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, and Twitch — all while moving around your space. The screen follows your eyes and head, giving you an uninterrupted experience.

Gamers and fitness lovers will be pleased, too. The Meta Quest 3 supports a wide range of gaming and exercise apps and allows you to connect to your PC and play your Steam games wirelessly. It also comes with handheld controls, making your gameplay more responsive and fun.

The Meta Quest 3S, while a bit simpler, still delivers a strong performance. It’s a budget-friendly version that sacrifices a few advanced features but keeps many essentials. It has a slightly lower display resolution at 1,832 x 1,920 pixels per eye, compared to the 2,064 x 2,208 pixels you get with the Quest 3. That’s about 30% fewer pixels, but both headsets still support a 120Hz refresh rate, meaning you get smooth, sharp visuals.

Built for Meta’s ecosystem and designed for privacy

Because they are Meta products, both headsets work smoothly with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Since everything happens inside the headset, away from prying eyes, you can interact with your apps and messages in a more private way.

Whether you’re working out, gaming, or catching up on your favourite TV shows, the Meta Quest 3 and 3S aim to give you a fresh and fun way to experience content. Their mixed reality features also mean you can still see your surroundings while using the devices, making them more comfortable and safer to use around the home.

Where to buy and how to get started

You can purchase the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S directly from Meta’s official online store in Singapore. With the country being the first in the region to get access, now is a great time to get one before demand increases.

If you’re curious about the full specifications or want to compare the two models in more detail, Meta’s website has more information. But if you’re ready to plunge into the future of mixed reality, head to the store and grab your headset today.

Meta has also teased more software and app updates shortly, so buying now ensures you’ll be ready for what’s next.
