Sure thing, let’s dive into this. So, the 2025 WNBA season is kicking off, and guess what? Meta’s throwing more games into the mix on Quest with this Xtadium app thingy and NBA Arena in Horizon Worlds. Feels like a techy whirlwind, right?
So, yeah, you can catch 20 live games on Quest this season. And five of them are, like, in 180-degree video or something. Immersive, right? Or dizzying, maybe. Anybody else getting old-school VR flashbacks here?
Oh, and it’s all on the US-only Xtadium app. I guess you can do live and on-demand stuff there, plus the whole immersive streaming deal. Private watch parties, too. Picture this: chilling in a virtual room with digital pals… or real ones. Whatever floats your boat. Meanwhile, NBA Arena’s hosting public parties. Just click around Horizon Worlds and ta-da! You’re social… virtually.
And speaking of digital vibes—May 27 is the day, folks. WNBA merch for avatars will be available. You can snag some in the Horizon Worlds app. Avatar style upgrade, anyone?
Now, let’s talk geography. Blah, blah geo-restrictions. Some of us have to deal with blackouts. Bummer. But hey, if you live near the game’s venue, you might be out of luck watching. Irony, right? The closer you are, sometimes the further you feel.
Alright, for those calendar fans:
– May 18: Minnesota Lynx vs. L.A. Sparks, 3 p.m.
– May 22: New York Liberty vs. Chicago Sky, 5 p.m.
– May 27: Immersive! Chicago Sky vs. Phoenix Mercury, 7 p.m.
– June 9: Golden State Valkyries vs. L.A. Sparks, 7 p.m.
– June 17: Immersive again, Las Vegas Aces vs. Minnesota Lynx, 5 p.m.
– June 18: Phoenix Mercury vs. Connecticut Sun, 4 p.m.
– June 24: Atlanta Dream vs. Dallas Wings, same time.
– The list goes on… and on… and on, but you get the gist, right?
So much basketball, who knew I’d ever jot all this down? Anyway—back to the game schedule, or maybe not. Got completely lost in thought there. Let’s just enjoy the madness, you know?
