Prime Day Meta Quest deals are nearly upon us, and with news about the Xbox version of the Quest 3S this past week, I think we should all be set for some great discounts. With more people than ever picking up a VR headset, there are lots of accessories out there that are vying for your attention. If you're looking for a discount on the headset itself, I think you may be in luck in a few weeks.
Prime Day gaming deals were pretty impressive last year, especially when it came to accessories for the Meta Quest headsets. We didn't really see many discounts on the Quest 3 last year though, and the 3S only launched last October (when the last Prime-exclusive sale took place). That said, Meta isn't the only sheriff in town these days, and straight shooters like PSVR 2 and Pico 4 Ultra are holding big irons in terms of price. I'd be surprised if we didn't see some of the best VR headsets on offer this summer, and that's an exciting thing worth preparing for.
Of course, accessories are a real mainstay of deals events like these, and the biggest savings we usually find come from charging docks and head straps. If you scroll far enough, you'll see a list of the best offers I saw while covering Prime Day in October of 2024. Hopefully, they'll provide you with an idea of the sorts of budgets you'll need to have when shopping for accessories. For now, though, let's dig into what you should expect for this July.

Prime Day Meta Quest deals - FAQ
When will Prime Day Meta Quest deals start?
Prime Day Meta Quest deals are set to make a return this July, and we now have confirmation that the event will start July 7, running until July 11. Based on the previous iterations of Prime Day I've covered, I'd wager early-bird offers beginning to appear in the first week of July and carrying through to the end.
Do you need a membership for Prime Day Meta Quest deals?
Usually, Prime Day Meta Quest deals aren't Prime Exclusive, and competing retailers will usually run their own seasonal sales at the same time as Amazon. We did see some more accessory deals for the Quest 2 and 3 become Prime Exclusive, so if it's those you seek, you might want to think about a Prime membership. If you play your cards right though, you could get around paying for it. 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.
What we expect from Prime Day Meta Quest deals in 2025
The Meta Quest 3 and 3S have now been on the shelves for a while, and yet the launch bundle that arrived to celebrate the Quest 3S is still kicking around. Getting a free copy of Batman Arkham Shadow along with either Quest 3 headset is quite the perk, and it was supposed to end in April of 2025. We're in uncharted territory with it then, and it's not clear whether it'll continue into July, or it'll be replaced by something else. After SGF, we now know a Deadpool VR game is in the works, and it'll be the next big exclusive for Quest headsets.
Either way, you'd hope the Quest 3 and 3S will both see some discounts for this summer's biggest sale.
If one thing is for sure, we'll get plenty of discounts on all the third-party accessories for the Quest 3 and 3S. These are the bread and butter of a lot of Amazon's Prime exclusive sales. Expect some of these to be limited-time, Prime-exclusive offers, since they have been in previous sales.
What about the competition?
PSVR 2 has now received a permanent price drop, which makes it cheaper than the Quest 3 512GB. The recent Days of Play sale saw it decrease by a further $50 / £50, and so we may not see a repeated discount over Prime Day (which could be as soon as a month away). I've been noticing that the Quest 3S and PSVR 2 have been competing on prices a lot lately, so when one gets a discount, the other does too. It remains to be seen who will offer the better value for money this Prime Day, however.
The Pico 4 Ultra is also an excellent alternative to the Meta Quest 3 if you're shopping in the UK. It could get a price drop over Prime Day to keep it competitively priced, although its price isn't as affordable as the Quest 3S or PSVR 2, so I'd say consider it if you have the budget for a Quest 3 512GB.
Don't forget we also have the upcoming (although unconfirmed) Valve Deckard to think about as well, which might be worth saving up for instead of a Prime Day Quest deal.
