Meta on Monday announced a virtual reality subscription service called Meta Quest+ that will give users access to two new games each month.

Meta Quest+ costs $7.99 a month and is compatible with the Quest 2, the Quest Pro and the upcoming Quest 3. The subscription service marks Meta’s latest effort to generate recurring revenue from its Reality Labs unit, which is developing virtual reality and augmented reality technologies.
