Meta has released Horizon TV, a new entertainment center made just for its Quest virtual reality headsets. Mark Zuckerberg shared this exciting news at Meta Connect 2025. He stressed that the company thinks that watching videos will soon become a major use case for VR devices and smart glasses. Horizon TV is a simple platform that brings together all the big streaming services. Users can watch movies, TV shows, sports, music, and even immersive virtual reality experiences.
Horizon TV lets people watch popular shows and movies on services like Disney+, Prime Video, Hulu, ESPN, Spotify, Peacock, and Twitch. This means that people can watch their favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, shows like The Boys and Fallout, and sports events right on their VR headset. Meta has worked closely with big names in the entertainment industry, like Universal Pictures and Blumhouse, to bring users exclusive horror movies like M3GAN and The Black Phone, featuring special effects that can’t be found anywhere else.
Dolby Atmos support enhances the experience by delivering surround sound that makes you feel like you’re there. Later this year, Meta will add Dolby Vision to Horizon TV. This will make the platform’s colors more vibrant and the image details sharper. For a short time, people can watch an exclusive 3D clip from Avatar: Fire and Ash. Meta made this clip in partnership with James Cameron’s Lightstorm Vision.
The hub’s interface is meant to be easy to use and welcoming. It welcomes users with tailored suggestions and organized tabs that make it easy to find movies, TV shows, sports, music, and immersive VR content. It also has a watchlist that helps users remember which shows they want to watch. This makes it easy and fun to stream on Quest headsets, changing the way people watch movies and TV shows in virtual reality.
Horizon TV is a big step for Meta in making virtual reality more than just a way to play games or connect with friends; it’s a full platform for enjoying all kinds of content. Horizon TV will change the way people watch and interact with media in VR by bringing together the best streaming services in one place and improving the sensory experience with cutting-edge audio and, soon, visual technology.
