Newshot Meta quietly adds a batch of 3D movies to the TV app for Quest headsets, and the corresponding films are expected to join the Horizon+ subscription service later
IT Home, November 13 news: According to foreign media outlet UploadVR, a small amount of 3D movie content has recently begun appearing in the TV app for Meta Quest 3/3S headsets, and users can directly rent or purchase the relevant films through the Meta Horizon Store.
The foreign media outlet said that the films currently appearing mainly come from Disney's copyright library. Notably, users do not need a Disney+ subscription to purchase these movies directly through the Meta Horizon Store.
In addition, data miners Nikita and Nori also discovered a 3D movie featured page in the Quest TV app, suggesting that Meta may later make 3D movies one of the benefits of the Horizon+ subscription service, and may also rename the service to Meta VR+.
In fact, this direction of renaming is consistent with Meta's recent moves to adjust its brand strategy. Since the beginning of this year, the company has been trying to further distinguish Horizon Worlds and its related brands from the Quest platform, gradually shifting Quest's brand focus toward third-party apps and the content ecosystem.
Public information shows that Meta Horizon+ is a subscription service launched for its VR devices, priced at $8 per month (IT Home note: about 53.5 yuan RMB at the current exchange rate) / $60 per year (about 401.1 yuan RMB at the current exchange rate). Subscribers can access the Games Catalog, which includes about 50 mainstream VR games, and the Indie Catalog, which includes about 50 smaller titles, for a total of about 100 games.
