Meta is expanding entertainment options on its Quest headsets by introducing a new Horizon TV hub, unveiled during the company’s Meta Connect keynote on Wednesday.
The hub will make it easier for users to stream movies, shows, and live content directly within VR, consolidating popular streaming apps in one place.
The Horizon TV hub will include access to Prime Video, Peacock, Twitch, and — for the first time — Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN. An image shared by Meta shows a redesigned homepage featuring content recommendations and streaming apps, along with tabs for movies, TV shows, sports, immersive experiences, music, and watchlists. However, it remains unclear if these tabs will aggregate content across all services or only display titles from subscriptions users already hold.
As part of the rollout, Meta has also partnered with Universal Pictures and Blumhouse to bring movies like The Black Phone and M3GAN to Quest headsets with immersive 3D effects. The move mirrors Apple’s collaboration with Disney to offer 3D movies on the Vision Pro headset, signaling a growing competition in the VR entertainment space.
The Horizon TV hub currently supports Dolby Atmos surround sound, with Meta confirming that Dolby Vision support will arrive later this year, further enhancing the cinematic experience inside VR.
