XBOX and Meta: More Ways to Enjoy XBOX Game Pass

Meta Horizon+ now includes a starter edition of Xbox Game Pass for eligible subscribers in supported regions, expanding an already existing Xbox/Game Pass presence on Meta Quest devices. The new benefit adds access to 50+ games, 10 hours of cloud gaming each month, and Rewards tied to play.

For developers, the practical takeaway is broader discovery and another subscription funnel for Game Pass content on Meta hardware. That matters most for titles that benefit from quick sampling, cloud delivery, or cross-device visibility, since the starter library mixes big-name releases with smaller co-op and survival games.

The included lineup spans Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Overcooked 2, Grounded, DayZ, Deep Rock Galactic, and SnowRunner. That mix suggests Microsoft is using recognizable catalog titles to make the offer feel substantial while still pushing a range of genres that can sell the value of subscription access.

Meta Horizon+ is priced at $59.99 per year or $7.99 per month. The exact mechanics for eligibility and regional availability are now the main variables, but the direction is clear: more subscription bundling, more cloud-first access, and another way for Game Pass titles to reach players who may not own an Xbox console.
