Meta Adds 3D Movies to Quest TV App as $8 Horizon+ May Fold In Benefit

Q: How might the rumored Meta VR+ rebrand impact subscription costs for users who only care about gaming?

For users who only care about gaming, a Meta VR+ rebrand could mean paying the same price for a broader bundle they may not fully use — or facing a higher price if Meta decides that adding 3D movies justifies a premium. Right now, Horizon+ costs about $8 a month or $60 a year and is positioned as a gaming subscription, with more than 100 games, monthly game picks, Xbox Game Pass Starter access, discounts, and add-ons. The leaked TV app language suggests Meta may fold 3D movies into that package under a new Meta VR+ name. If that happens without a price increase, game-focused users would simply get extra media perks they can ignore. The bigger risk is pricing. Once a service shifts from a game subscription to a broader entertainment bundle, companies often use the added content to support higher monthly fees or introduce multiple tiers. That could leave pure gaming subscribers subsidizing movie features they do not want. Meta has not announced any pricing changes, so for now that remains speculative. There is also a possible upside for gamers: a larger media-oriented subscriber base could help Meta keep the gaming catalog attractive, spread costs across more users, and avoid raising prices quickly. But unless Meta offers a cheaper games-only tier, a successful Meta VR+ bundle would likely reduce pricing flexibility for people who just want VR games.

A limited batch of 3D movies has started appearing in the Quest TV app, with some Quest 3 and 3S owners already seeing titles available to buy through the Meta Horizon Store.
Datamined app pages suggest Meta could also bundle 3D movies into Horizon+—its $8-a-month VR subscription—and possibly rename the service Meta VR+.
The early catalog appears weighted toward Disney-owned films, sold without requiring a Disney+ subscription, while Disney+ itself is due a Quest overhaul this month with 3D support and a spatial interface.
Meta had said in September that Quest users in the US would get access to hundreds of rentable or purchasable movies in late 2026, expanding to thousands internationally by the 2027 launch of Meta VR Glasses.
The move fits Meta's broader push to use media to bring mainstream adults into VR; Horizon+ passed 1 million active subscribers in 2025 and has been expanding beyond games.
