If you enjoy binge-watching classic TV shows and spending time in virtual reality, today is your lucky day.
Peacock TV, the latest app to land on the Meta shop, now allows virtual reality enthusiasts in the United States and select territories to enjoy premium entertainment content, CNET reports.
Watch Your Favorite Shows on VR!
Meta announced in a blog post on Wednesday, April 12, that Meta Quest 2 and Quest Pro headsets users can now download the app to watch TV shows, movies, and sports, including popular shows like Poker Face and The Office.
Furthermore, new Peacock TV subscribers who use Meta Quest devices can get Peacock Premium for free, making it an appealing option for those seeking a unique entertainment experience.
Now, here is the catch. The offer, however, is only available to those 18 years or older who live in the United States, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, or the United States Virgin Islands and have registered an eligible device by April 11, 2023.
Qualified users will receive Peacock Premium free of charge for three months. Meanwhile, those who register eligible Meta VR devices before April 11, 2024, can use the service for free for a year.

Due to the collaboration, CNET tells us that more content from studios such as Blumhouse and The Office will be introduced to the metaverse. Meta already provides access to Netflix, Prime Video, and Showtime (US only) as part of its streaming TV options.
Adding VR to Peacock TV marks a significant advancement in the entertainment industry as more streaming services seek to provide immersive experiences to their users. As a result, Meta Quest 2 and Quest Pro headset owners can expect more content deals in the coming months.
