The company Meta could soon launch a subscription service for Quest games and apps. A Twitter user named @ShinyQuagsire claimed this week to have found evidence of a "Quest Pass" subscription service through the Meta Quest app on Android. Although we did not have access to this hidden page ourselves, another user claimed that it was also available through the iOS app.
The Quest Pass could work similarly to the subscription offerings of Microsoft's Xbox Live Games or Sony's PlayStation Plus. According to reports, users could receive up to two new apps or games every month and expand their collection with the best VR titles. The apps can be kept as long as the subscription is maintained.
The company has sold almost 20 million Quest headsets
Last week, Meta claimed to have sold almost 20 million Quest headsets since the platform's introduction in 2019. Mark Rabkin, Vice President of VR at Meta, told employees during a product roadmap presentation that the Quest 3 headset will be released later this year. It is expected to be twice as thin and at least twice as powerful as the Quest 2 model, but will cost slightly more.
What Meta Quest is
Meta Quest is a platform for virtual reality games and apps. The platform was developed and launched by Facebook Reality Labs. It is part of the Oculus VR ecosystem, which was purchased by Facebook. The platform is designed for use with the Oculus Quest and Quest 2 headsets.
The possibility of making social connections through VR headsets
One of the key features of Meta Quest is that it allows its users to meet other people in virtual reality. There are several VR apps that enable users to make social connections through VR headsets. These apps make it easier to play games and meet other people in virtual reality, regardless of where they are.
How VR technology is changing the gaming industry
The introduction of VR headsets has changed the gaming industry. A large part of the growth in VR headsets is due to improved technology. Many developers have started to create VR games and apps to meet the growing demand. But even large companies like Meta have entered the market to get a piece of the pie.
Why a subscription service could be a good idea
A subscription service could be an excellent way for Meta to gain more users and increase sales. By providing access to new games and apps every month, users can enjoy a steady stream of content, which may make more people inclined to subscribe. Users also benefit from being able to try out new games, which could potentially lead to them buying the full game later on.
