Prime Day Meta Quest deals will arrive in less than two weeks, which is earlier than we're used to for the big summer sale. Prime Day usually falls in July, but this year it's been moved up so that we're getting a full week of deals in the last full week of June. For Quest 3 owners, that means the time to try and upgrade with new accessories is nigh. Quest accessories are discounted often, but the prices we see during Prime sales are always the best.
Unfortunately, it's a tough time to buy the Quest 3 or Quest 3S. The price has been raised by Meta in recent months, the company's VR division has taken serious layoff hits, and to top it all off, Valve's VR headset that's dedicated to gaming will be arriving this summer. That said, we still don't know its price, so it's still worth knowing what to compare it with, and the Quest 3 devices are hard to beat. Will the Quest 3 or 3S see a discount this Prime Day? It's hard to say, but I'll be keeping a watch right here to let you know if so.
Down below, you can find the best deals that are already available on the Quest 3 headsets and the best Meta Quest accessories. From head straps to charging stands to cables and whatever else you might need, these are deals you don't need to wait around for. In some instances, prices will improve the closer we get to Prime Day, but as long as you're aware of that, feel free to peruse for now.

What to expect from Prime Day Meta Quest deals in 2026
With the Quest 3 headsets only just going up in price in the last couple of months, and with reports about Meta's future in VR coming into question in 2026, it's not looking great for headset deals this year. We've had big layoffs in the Reality Labs division at Meta, including the closure of Meta's three biggest VR game development studios.
We've also had reports that Meta is abandoning the Metaverse strategy that led it to double down on the success of the Quest 2 into the Quest 3 headsets, and a restructuring into AI and those wearable glasses. Spokespeople from Meta say the brand isn't going anywhere with regard to VR, but its actions are speaking a lot louder than words right now.
A $50 and more price hike to all of the Quest 3 devices is certainly a sign of the times with the RAM shortages impacting all sorts of tech markets, but it comes at a rough time if you're looking to grab a Quest 3 or 3S for yourself.
With all of that in mind, it's hard to imagine any new bundles for the Quest 3 headsets this Prime Day, but I think a discount or two might go a long way to helping Meta reach its sales targets for the year, especially after a price hike.
There's also some hefty competition en route to disrupt Meta's hold over the VR gaming market.
What's always reassuring is that Meta Quest accessories like headstraps, earbuds, charging stands, and facial interfaces all form a staple group of Prime Day offers. We may not see record-low prices on everything, but existing Quest 3 owners can be assured they'll get decent opportunities to upgrade their existing VR loadout while Prime Day is running.
What about the competition?
Steam Frame is now confirmed to be arriving this summer after it was originally slated to hit the shelves in early 2026. Obviously, the RAM shortages had other plans.
Still, arrive it shall, and Meta is already backed into a bit of a corner. With Valve clearly targeting gamers with its headset, Meta closing its biggest studios, and raising its prices, it's now a much tighter race than I had anticipated. We still don't know the price of the Frame, but with the 512GB Quest 3 costing $600, Valve is in a much better position than it was.
On the budget end of the scale, we also have PSVR 2 continually seeing competitive prices versus the Quest 3S 128GB model. Hopefully all of this increased competition means we see some deals during Prime Day, since it might be one of Meta's last chances to win over gamers from a hotly anticipated Steam headset.
Prime Day Meta Quest deals - FAQ
When will Prime Day Meta Quest deals start?
Prime Day Meta Quest deals will begin June 23 and run through June 26. As usual, we'll likely see some early bird offers in the week before the sale officially starts, and plenty of Prime-exclusive and timed deals as we get closer. If you're not a Prime member, remember you can take out a 30-day free trial the week before and cancel after without paying anything to access the extra deals.
Do you need a membership for Prime Day Meta Quest deals?
Usually, Prime Day Meta Quest deals aren't always Prime Exclusive, but some of the best accessory discounts are reserved for Prime members and can even be timed/early bird offers. It might be worth starting a membership if you're interested in upgrading your VR loadout, but also if you want the benefits of Prime Video, for example. For the headset deals themselves, these tend to be non-exclusive, and competing retailers will usually run their own seasonal sales at the same time as Amazon with price matches. If in doubt, take out a free trial in the week or so before the event kicks off, get access to the benefits, and then cancel before you need to pay.
