Meta VR Plus Subscription
Meta Horizon+ is reportedly rebranding to Meta VR Plus while expanding its library to include 3D movies alongside its existing collection of games.
The upcoming service builds on the current $7.99 per month subscription model. It currently grants access to over 100 games for users on Meta Quest headsets.
Xbox Game Pass Inclusion
Subscribers currently receive the basic Xbox Game Pass tier alongside native VR titles. This inclusion provides access to over 50 Xbox games playable through cloud streaming.
Meta couples this software library with hardware sales by offering a 3-month trial for new buyers. The trial applies directly to every newly purchased Meta Quest device.
Expanding Into 3D Movies
A screenshot posted on X by VR leaker Nori revealed the addition of 3D movies to the service. The leaked images show several high-profile films slated for the platform.

Pricing structures for the movie content remain unconfirmed. It is unclear if Meta will fold the video content into the standard $7.99 rate or introduce separate tiers.
The media additions support upcoming hardware releases like the $1,300 Meta VR Glasses. However, the exact same content will remain fully compatible with existing Meta Quest 3 units.
Dropping The Horizon Brand
Meta began distancing itself from the Horizon moniker following a major restructuring of its VR division. Samantha Ryan, the VP of Content at Meta’s Reality Labs, outlined a strategic reset in a February blog post that involved the loss of most in-house VR gaming studios.
That shift led several prominent developers to establish independent studios, including the creators of the Supernatural exercise app. Meta subsequently decoupled the Horizon Metaverse from headsets by moving the experience to mobile devices.
The transition to Meta VR branding establishes clear separation from mobile apps and smart glasses efforts. This renaming strategy leaves Meta Horizon+ as the latest casualty of the corporate rebrand.
