Menlo Park, CA - Meta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, today announced the launch of Quest+, a subscription-based service for its virtual reality (VR) headsets. The subscription will give users access to two hand-picked VR titles every month, as well as discounts on other VR content.

"We're excited to launch Quest+ and make it easier for people to experience the best of VR," said Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta. "With Quest+, you'll get access to the latest and greatest VR games and experiences, as well as discounts on other content."

The Quest+ subscription costs $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year. It is available for all Quest 2 and Quest Pro headsets. Users who sign up for Quest+ before July 31 will get their first month for just $1.

In addition to two free games per month, Quest+ subscribers will also get access to a range of other benefits, including:

• Discounts on other VR content: Quest+ subscribers will get discounts on VR games, apps, and experiences from the Meta Quest store.
• Early access to new releases: Quest+ subscribers will get early access to new VR games and experiences before they're available to the general public.
• Exclusive content: Quest+ subscribers will get access to exclusive VR content, such as behind-the-scenes videos and developer interviews.

Meta is hoping that Quest+ will help to boost the adoption of its VR headsets. The company has been investing heavily in VR in recent years, but the market for VR headsets has remained relatively small.

Quest+ could help to grow the VR market by making it more affordable for people to get started with VR. The subscription also offers a way for Meta to generate recurring revenue from its VR platform.

It remains to be seen whether Quest+ will be a success. However, the subscription service is a sign that Meta is committed to the VR market. The company is betting that VR will eventually become a mainstream technology, and Quest+ could help to make that happen.

In addition to the benefits mentioned above, Quest+ also offers the following:

• Access to a growing library of VR content: Meta is constantly adding new VR games and experiences to its store, so Quest+ subscribers will always have something new to explore.
• A convenient way to manage your VR library: Quest+ subscribers can easily download and manage their VR content from the Meta Quest store.
• A way to support VR developers: Quest+ subscribers are helping to support the VR development community by paying for access to new VR content.
