Meta Quest Introduces First Four Games for its PS Plus-Style Service

In a major announcement, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg has revealed a thrilling new VR subscription service for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, and the upcoming Meta Quest 3. Subscribers to this service will have the opportunity to claim two games each month at a discounted price, creating a remarkable gaming experience. Drawing comparisons to Sony's renowned PS Plus service, Meta Quest's subscription model operates in a similar fashion, particularly in its Essential Tier.

While PS Plus subscribers enjoy online play and three monthly games with their Essential Tier access, Meta Quest+ subscribers will gain access to two captivating titles, at least for its initial launch. However, it remains to be seen how the subscription service will evolve in the future. Priced at $7.99 per month or $59.99 annually, subscribers will be treated to these two games every month, provided their subscription remains active. To sweeten the deal, early adopters who sign up before July 31 will receive their first month for just $1.

For the month of July 2023, Meta Quest+ subscribers will be thrilled to claim two enticing games: Pistol Whip and Pixel Ripped 1995. Pistol Whip is an action-packed FPS with rhythm elements, offering players the chance to compete on leaderboards, synchronize their movements with music, and engage in exhilarating combat across mesmerizing dreamlike scenes. On the other hand, Pixel Ripped 1995 is a virtual reality game within a game, challenging players to complete gameplay trials and relive the nostalgia of classic 16 and 32-bit era titles.

The game lineup continues to excite in August 2023, with Meta Quest+ subscribers gaining access to Walkabout Mini Golf and MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE. Walkabout Mini Golf provides a delightful VR experience, allowing players to enjoy the beloved pastime of mini-golf within the virtual realm. In contrast, MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE unleashes chaotic FPS action within a roguelike environment, where players must forge powerful weapons like rocket-firing shotguns to battle their way to freedom, repeating their daring escapades.

The value proposition of Meta Quest's subscription service becomes abundantly clear, as it offers a treasure trove of diverse recommendations each month at an affordable price. While the future support and expansion of the service remain to be seen, it is not far-fetched to envision Meta Quest+ becoming the PS Plus equivalent in the immersive VR industry.
