Meta has recently announced a partnership extension with the National Basketball Association (NBA), allowing its Quest 2 and Quest Pro headsets to broadcast NBA games in VR. Notably, Meta offers official NBA jerseys for avatars, allowing users to represent their favorite team in the metaverse.

Starting this year, users can probably watch NBA games in VR through the Horizon Worlds and Xtadium. The Xtadium is a sports app for the Quest headset and enables users to hold private watch parties in the virtual world. As the tech giant reveals, users will be able to subscribe to NBA League Pass to enjoy more contents and purchase NBA-/WNBA-authorized costumes for their avatars.

Rob Shaw, director of sports media and league partnerships at Meta, said, “Meta’s immersive VR technology is opening up new opportunities for sports fans to engage and interact with their favorite NBA teams. “Fans will be able to express their fandom by donning their favorite team’s gear on Avatars and enjoy more live NBA games and experience NBA League Pass in a much more social and immersive way.”

Meta’s director of media content Sarah Malkin also stated, “VR’s superpower is making it possible to immerse yourself in shared experiences with friends and fans from around the world, and we’re thrilled to bring these killer features to the NBA Arena and live games”.

Owners of the Quest will be able to watch NBA games in VR with their friends using Xtadium. They can also watch 52 NBA games for free on the company’s social VR platform Horizon Worlds, including five 180-degree VR games in a 2880 resolution. As the headset maker reported, users may choose between live WNBA, NBA G, and NBA 2K games across the 2023 season. (Source: Sina VR)
