XBOX and Meta: More Ways to Enjoy XBOX Game Pass - XBOX Wire

What the report says

Xbox.com reports that Xbox and Meta are expanding their gaming partnership by adding a new Xbox Game Pass benefit for eligible Meta Horizon+ subscribers. Beginning with the announcement, subscribers in supported regions can access a starter edition of Xbox Game Pass where the offer is available, adding another route to try Game Pass alongside existing access to Xbox and Game Pass on Meta Quest devices.

According to Xbox Wire, the starter edition includes more than 50 games, 10 hours of cloud gaming per month and player Rewards. The listed catalog examples include Bethesda Softworks’ Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, Ghost Town Games’ Overcooked 2, Obsidian Entertainment’s Grounded, Bohemia Interactive’s DayZ, Deep Rock Galactic and SnowRunner. Xbox directed users to Meta for the full details on how the benefit is included with a Meta Horizon+ subscription.

The article says Meta Horizon+ is priced at $59.99 per year or $7.99 per month. It does not specify all supported regions or eligibility requirements in the supplied text, so users would need to check Meta’s terms and local availability before relying on the offer.

The move matters because it continues a broader industry push to make subscription game libraries available across more devices and platforms, particularly through cloud gaming. As reported by Xbox.com, the new Meta Horizon+ tie-in gives Meta subscribers a lower-friction way to sample Game Pass while also giving Xbox another channel to reach players beyond traditional consoles and PCs.
