Meta is expanding its Horizon+ VR subscription by adding a starter edition of Xbox Game Pass, granting access to 50+ games, 10 hours of cloud gaming per month, and Rewards for playing. The catalog includes titles like Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Overcooked 2, Grounded, DayZ, Deep Rock Galactic, and SnowRunner, with options to stream on Quest or download to PC/Xbox for unlimited play beyond the cloud limit. Meta also plans to enable Quest Touch controllers to emulate an Xbox controller in the coming weeks to simplify gameplay without a dedicated gamepad. Horizon+ remains priced at $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year, with a one-month free trial for new subscribers. The move deepens Meta’s collaboration with Microsoft on Xbox Game Pass, as part of a broader strategy to bolster the Quest ecosystem amid other company-wide shifts. This builds on earlier cross-platform initiatives like Discord Nitro perks and Xbox integrations for Quest devices.
