Meta is attempting something brand-new with its VR headset by method of a subscription service that offers two totally free video game downloads monthly.
Game-based membership strategies like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass frequently utilize the attraction of complimentary month-to-month game downloads to bring in members, and now Meta is getting in on the action. Meta Quest+ promises two totally free VR video games every 30 days approximately, which you can play as much as you desire for as long as your subscription is active.
Cloudhead Games’ virtual FPS Pistol Whip and the 8-bit homage game-within-a-game Pixel Ripped 1995 from ARVORE Immersive Experiences serve as the inaugural set of freebies to start. The games are normally priced at $29.99 and $19.99, respectively. They’ll no longer be totally free once August rolls around, however Terrible Posture Games’ MOTHERGUNSHIP: FORGE and Mighty Coconut’s Walkabout Mini Golf will be taking their location for the next round.
Resemblances with other game membership services end with complimentary games, however. Meta has not indicated that other typical benefits like digital shop discounts and special sales belong of Meta Quest+. So as of now, it appears your regular monthly payments are only approaching those 2 totally free downloads per month.
The Meta Quest+ strategy begins on July 1, however you can sign up now with 2 choices: $7.99 each month or $59.99 annually (around $35 less general than paying for 12 months individually).
As with similar services, selected titles are just offered free of charge while they’re part of the Meta Quest+ subscription, and without a membership, you’ll lose access to any redeemed freebies.
