Meta’s Horizon+ looks to become Meta VR+ and include 3D movies

Meta Horizon+ is rumored to be changing its name to Meta VR+ and may start including movies in addition to games with the subscription price.

Meta’s quest (ahem) to distance itself from the Horizon era is in full swing, and the latest rumor says it’s time for the company’s Game Pass-like subscription to change its brand name. VR leaker Nori posted a screenshot on X showing a handful of 3D movies coming to the Meta VR Plus service. Considering there is no such Meta VR Plus service currently, the obvious conclusion is that Meta Horizon+ is being renamed once again.

Meta Horizon+ currently includes over 100 games with its $7.99 per month subscription and is similar to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service in many ways. Unironically, Meta Horizon+ also includes the basic Xbox Game Pass tier with over 50 Xbox games playable via the Game Pass cloud. Meta offers a 3-month trial with every new Meta Quest purchase.

The new Meta VR+ service is purported to include 3D movies as well, although we don’t yet know if this will be included in the regular $7.99 per month rate, or if Meta will be introducing additional content tiers, as services like Netflix, Disney+, Xbox Game Pass, and others do. Based on the screenshot, these will be big-name movies and are likely positioned to enhance the value of the upcoming $1,300 Meta VR Glasses, although all the same content will work on existing Meta Quest 3 units.

Meta has been slowly distancing itself from the “Horizon” name ever since the beginning of this year, when its VR division got a big reset.
