Meta VR+ leak adds 3D movies to the $7.99 monthly plan

A leaked Meta VR+ rebrand suggests Meta is preparing to overhaul its Horizon+ subscription service by bundling monthly 3D theatrical movies alongside its existing library of VR games. Currently priced at $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year, the catalog may soon cater to VR headset owners who want mainstream entertainment beyond gaming, though it remains unconfirmed whether these films will be rolled into the existing pricing tier or reserved for an unannounced premium level.

According to leaked screenshots shared on X by VR tipster Nori, Meta appears set to retire the Horizon+ branding in favor of Meta VR+. Rather than focusing solely on interactive virtual reality software, the updated offering positions monthly free 3D movie streaming as a primary membership perk.

Studio Partnerships and Expanding Entertainment

The leaked user interface reveals high-profile Hollywood releases available in 3D format, including Marvel titles such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Man: Far From Home, alongside Prime Video releases like The Martian. These listings point to multi-studio agreements spanning Disney, Sony, and Amazon MGM Studios.

Today, Horizon+ provides members with access to more than 100 VR titles alongside a basic Xbox Cloud Gaming catalog. Integrating licensed 3D theatrical releases marks a distinct shift in Meta's hardware ecosystem, transforming Quest headsets into personal virtual screening rooms to better compete with standalone spatial media experiences.

Open Questions Around Tiering and Availability

While the leaked materials confirm licensing arrangements, key operational questions remain unanswered. The leak does not clarify whether the 3D film catalog will simply join the existing $7.99 monthly or $59.99 annual subscription, or if Meta plans to introduce a higher-priced tier to offset film licensing fees. Meta has not yet publicly commented on the leak or detailed rollout plans.

Would monthly 3D theatrical films make a Meta VR+ subscription worth keeping on your headset, or do you view standalone VR gaming as the only feature that justifies an ongoing membership?
