Gamers can prepare for the midnight release at their local stores as we inch closer to the June 5 launch date.

However, for those who value their sleep schedules and would rather not camp out, there's an alternative that promises to deliver an exceptional gaming experiencealbeit not on the highly awaited Switch 2. Enter the Meta Quest 3S, widely regarded as the best entry point into the world of virtual reality gaming.

In addition to the carrying case, buyers will enjoy the added bonus of the game Batman: Arkham Shadow.
