Meta Quest+: Aspiring to Be the VR Game Pass, but Still a Long Way to Go

 

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, announced the Meta Quest+ service on Instagram, revealing a monthly subscription cost of $7.99 or an annual fee of $59.99. Subscribers will receive two games every month, carefully chosen by Meta to include both popular hits and lesser-known gems. To access the games, subscribers must redeem them through the Meta Quest app.

One glaring drawback for Meta Quest+ is the lack of an extensive game library at launch. In contrast, services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus debuted with a wide range of titles, providing immediate value for subscribers. While Meta Quest+ may accumulate games over time, with 24 titles per year, it pales in comparison to the 100+ games available through its competitors. Additionally, Meta Quest+ does not offer a growing catalogue, meaning missed games cannot be redeemed in subsequent months.
