Meta’s $24.99 monthly pay later plan covers the Quest 3 and Quest Plus

Meta tries its hand at a hardware and services bundle.

The loans are supplied by Affirm, one of the more well-known buy now, pay later services that have cropped up in recent years. This “Play Now, Pay Later” package could help Meta get headsets into the hands of people unwilling to pay the entire price upfront, but it’s also a promotion for the Quest Plus service that adds two games to your library each month and leaves them there as long as you maintain the subscription. Meta’s monthly payment plan mirrors other hardware and service bundles we’ve seen pop up in recent years, like Xbox All Access, which Microsoft has used to push Game Pass.
