Ah, the 2025 WNBA season is rolling up faster than I expected. So get this—Meta’s back at it with their whole livestream thing on Quest. Yep, you can catch those games on Xtadium and Horizon Worlds NBA Arena. I mean, kinda cool, right?
Anyway, for you Quest folks, they’ve lined up 20 games you can dive into, like literally. Five of them are in this wild 180-degree immersive deal—like being there without the sticky seats and overpriced nachos. That’s what Meta dropped in some news snippet. Or maybe I just imagined the nachos part. Who knows.
Now, you’re stuck in the US? Xtadium’s got your back. Live games, on-demand stuff, even your own virtual watch parties. Thinking about watching in your PJs? No judgment here. Oh, and for those extroverts (not me), public watch parties are happening over at NBA Arena. All free, by the way, in Horizon Worlds. Nice, right?
Starting on May 27th, you could deck out your avatar in all this WNBA-branded swag. Shopping in Horizon Worlds, it’s apparently a thing now. Not sure I’d rock virtual merch, but hey, you do you.
Quick heads up—geo-restrictions. So yeah, not all games everywhere. Proximity might mess it up—thanks, geo-blocking. Seriously, living near the event but can’t see it? Classic.
