Also keep in mind that the games offered as part of a subscription are not always new. without going too far Torn Pixel 1995 originally released in 2020.

This is not necessarily a negative point. Although it is interesting to analyze different edges; for example, if it manages to attract potential users beyond VR enthusiasts. Or if he manages to boost the California firm’s global eyewear sales. Let’s not forget that Meta recently announced a massive price cut for Quest 2 and Quest Pro.

With the announcement of the Apple Vision Pro, where those on the block showed a rather apathetic first attitude towards games, It makes sense that Meta wants to take advantage of Quest+ to showcase its VR gaming ecosystem..
