Another disadvantage is the manual redemption process for games. Unlike the automatic availability of games on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, Meta Quest+ requires subscribers to manually redeem each monthly title. This cumbersome process raises questions about the user experience and the necessity of redemption if access is revoked upon cancellation.
Meta Quest+ resembles a flawed imitation of Microsoft’s Games with Gold rather than a comprehensive gaming subscription service. Games with Gold, a benefit for Xbox Live Gold members, also requires manual redemption but allows continued access to redeemed games even after unsubscribing.
Considering the limitations and inconsistencies of Meta Quest+, it fails to deliver the value and convenience that gamers expect from a game subscription service. Rather than providing a robust gaming catalogue, Meta Quest+ offers a discounted way to obtain two games each month, with limited choice and the risk of losing access upon cancellation. As a result, many gamers may prefer to purchase games individually instead of subscribing to the service.
