Black Friday Meta Quest deals 2025: Early deals are already beginning
Black Friday Meta Quest deals will start emerging soon. Here are a few early deals to make the most of already
Black Friday Meta Quest deals will be the perfect opportunity for budding VR users to get their hands on a discounted headset or accessory. With Galaxy XR now revealed, Meta's intentions this season are clear - undercut the competition with discounts on its already popular mixed-reality headsets. Even though we're a month or so out from the official start of the sale, you can get some of our favorite accessories for cheaper already.
In the last few years, we've seen relatively few Meta Quest Black Friday deals, and that's because both the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S were brand-new releases when Black Friday rolled around. Now that they're a year older, with no Quest 4 on the horizon, discounts look much more likely. But that's also true of rivals like the PSVR 2, HTC, and Pico, and it's possible that all these brands will try one-upping each other in terms of discounts over Black Friday
With all the Black Friday gaming deals going on at this time of year, and potentially the best VR headsets discounted, it's best to plan so you know how much money you'll need to spend. Read on to find a list of some early deals ahead of Black Friday, and below that, some answers to frequently asked questions about this year's biggest gaming sale.
The best Meta Quest deals ahead of Black Friday
Last week, Meta dropped $50 off the price of the Quest 3S right in time for Samsung's Galaxy XR reveal. Unfortunately, that discount is already gone, and despite me hunting for them, the headset discounts just aren't here yet. That's alright though, there's plenty of time before Black Friday for the Quest 3 devices to go on offer. Until then, I've checked through our list of go-to accessories to see which are seeing super-early discounts. You can see my findings below.
- Quest 3: $499 at Amazon
- Quest 3S 128GB: $299 for the cheapest Quest 3
- Quest 3S 256GB: $397 at Amazon with Batman
- Charging docks: Charge and display for as little as $18
- Head straps: increased comfort from $9.59
- Battery head straps: Longer sessions starting from $22.99
- Link cables: Starting at $9.99 at Amazon
Syntech Link Cable 16FT | $22.99 $16.99 at Amazon
Save $5 - Whether you want to charge on the go, find an easy way of recording footage onto a PC, or you'd rather not use a streaming platform like SteamLink, a cable like this will come in handy. Our favorite one to recommend is the 16FT version of Syntech's cable, since it gives you decent yardage for the money.
Buy it if:
✅You want to charge while playing
✅ You want to link up to a PC
Don't buy it if:
❌ You'd prefer to use a wireless linking method
UK: £16.99 at Amazon
KIWI Design comfort battery head strap for Quest 3 / Quest 3S | $59.99 $53.99 at Amazon
Save $13 - KIWI's head strap is the one I use on a daily basis, and with an extra battery strap in there, it's great value for money. It's not seeing a huge discount, but for its comfort and battery life, it's worth grabbing for even a little less money than usual.
Buy it if:
✅ You want a comfier head strap
✅ You want better battery life
Don't buy it if:
❌ You play a lot of really active games with your Quest 3.
UK: £79.99 at Amazon
PRISMXR Power Belt for Quest 3 | $59.99 $49.99 at Amazon
Save $10 - I'm currently testing this accessory, and it's currently only $10 off its cheapest price during the Black Friday swing in 2024. If you don't want to add extra weight in the form of a battery head strap to your Quest 3 or 3S, this might be a great solution.
Buy it if:
✅ You're looking to improve your Quest 3's battery life
✅ You're alright with wearing a belt while playing
Don't buy it if:
❌ You'd feel fine with extra weight on your head
UK: £39.99 at Amazon
BOBOVR S3 Pro Battery Strap | $89.99 $71.99 at Amazon Save $18- One of the most popular head straps for the Quest 3 is currently seeing a Prime exclusive discount, and considering it's one of the priciest options out there, that's a really good thing. Remember, you can always take on a free trial to make use of deals like this if you aren't currently a Prime member.
Buy it if:
✅ You want a halo-style head strap
✅ You want to charge while you play
Don't buy it if:
❌ You prefer a lighter-weight head strap
UK: £95 at Amazon

What to expect from Black Friday Meta Quest deals in 2025
The Meta Quest 3S has now been on the shelves for a year, which means the full-fat Quest 3 is turning two years old. This is the first Black Friday since either of them hit the shelves when there isn't a new Quest device launching, which in my eyes, means that it's far more likely we see new deals, great discount offerings, and perhaps even a new bundle.
The 512GB Quest 3 remains an enthusiast-level option, and its price has just dropped to $499 since the Quest 3S devices arrived. The Quest 3S starts at 128GB and has a price of $299, but its higher capacity 256GB model will set you back $399. At present, you can still get Batman Arkham Shadow at no extra cost with any purchase of a Quest 3 or 3S, depending on where you buy from, but availability for that bundle has been waning in 2025. The 128GB has a new bundle if you buy at Amazon, meanwhile it seems the 256GB model still has full access to its Batman bundle and 3 month subscription to Meta Quest+.
Also this year, we've seen the arrival of the Quest 3S Xbox Limited Edition, which admittedly lasted longer on the shelves than most Limited Editions of anything tend to. I can't currently find it at Best Buy, which may mean it's sold out, but it wouldn't surprise me if we see a return with a discount or other bundle offering of some kind when Black Friday arrives.
Much more possible, in my eyes, is that we get a new bundle for all 3 Quest 3 models. Deadpool VR is set for launch soon, and given Meta's involvement in its development, and that the game is going to be exclusive to Quest devices, it wouldn't surprise me at all if that game gets bundled with them for the next year.
What's more certain is that some of the best Meta Quest accessories will continue to see big discounts. These always make up the majority of the deals we find, and they're a fantastic way to improve your headset's quality of life. Will you go for a new head strap that extends your battery life? Will you grab a charging stand so your controllers don't constantly run out of life? Or will you get yourself a carrying case so you can take some spatial computing power on the go? These types of things are always discounted during Black Friday, so if nothing else, prepare for those.

Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more
One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.
