The WNBA’s 2025 season is kicking off soon, and guess what? Meta is rolling out cool ways to watch it on the Quest headset. So, picture this – 20 live games streaming, some of them in this totally mind-boggling 180-degree immersive video. I mean, it’s like you’re right there, kinda wild, don’t you think?
Anyway, it’s all happening in this app called Xtadium, exclusively in the U.S. There’s this mix of live and on-demand games, plus some neat immersive streams. Oh, and you can have private virtual hangouts in Xtadium too. But if you’re feeling social, pop into the NBA Arena on Horizon Worlds for public game nights. And hey, it’s free!
Now, come May 27th, there’s gonna be WNBA-themed avatar goodies up for grabs in the Horizon Worlds app. Perfect for those who like a bit of flair while watching.
Of course, nothing’s ever simple, right? Some games might not stream everywhere due to those pesky geo-restrictions. Can’t escape them even in VR, I guess. Local blackouts might mess with your plans if you’re too close to the actual action.
