Meta is expanding its partnership with the NBA and WNBA to offer more than 50 live games in VR on Meta Quest, the company announced<\/a> on Monday. The Meta Quest is the official headset of the NBA, as the company signed a deal<\/a> with the league back in 2020.<\/p>\n

The company will deliver a package of 52 live NBA games, including five immersive 180-degree monoscopic VR games in 2880 on its Xtadium offering and on Meta Horizon Worlds. Meta will also offer a selection of WNBA, NBA G League\u00a0and\u00a0NBA 2K League games over the course of the season.

\u201cMeta\u2019s immersive VR technology is opening up new opportunities for sports fans to engage and interact with their favorite NBA teams,\u201d said Meta Director of Sports Media and League Partnerships Rob Shaw in a blog post<\/a>. \u201cFans will be able to express their fandom by donning their favorite team\u2019s gear on Avatars and enjoy more live NBA games and experience NBA League Pass in a much more social and immersive way.<\/p>\n
