What you need to know
- The Peacock app is now available on the Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro in the U.S. and some U.S. territories, including the entire Peacock content library and live sports.
- Existing Quest owners will get a 3-month subscription for free, while new Quest owners will get a full year of Peacock for free.
- The virtual screen can be resized to be as large or small as you want, and you can multitask by opening Peacock and several other apps at once.
Peacock joins other great media apps like YouTube, Netflix, and Prime Video by offering the entire content library in VR. However, it aims to improve the experience over those apps by providing a completely resizable screen that'll get you as close to the action as you want. If you can't go to your favorite baseball, football, or soccer game, this is the next best thing.
The Peacock app also works with the Quest's built-in multitasking, so you can run other apps side-by-side with your Peacock stream. Browse the web, chat with friends, or do whatever else it is that you want to do while you relax. At this time, you can't invite others into your Horizon Home room to watch with you, but we're hoping Meta will add this functionality in the future.
Meta also announced that new home environments, Horizon Worlds avatars, and Meta avatars will feature content from Universal Monsters, Halloween Horror Nights, and The Office, so you can hang out in your favorite locations while watching your favorite shows.
