Alright, let me try something a bit different here. Picture this: it’s 2025, and the WNBA is kicking off this week. Meta—yeah, that tech giant we all have mixed feelings about—is streaming a bunch of these games on Quest. So, if you’re hanging with a Quest headset, you’re in for 20 live games. Cool, right? Oh, and five of those are in this crazy 180-degree video thing. No clue how it works, but sounds fun.
Now, the games are kinda locked to the US because, well, geo-restrictions. Which is just a fancy way of saying “you might not see it if you’re too close to the actual game.” Annoying? Yeah, maybe.
Look, if you’re in Xtadium, that’s their app for this stuff, you get live games and even some past ones. Plus, there are these virtual watch parties you can do. Private ones in Xtadium, and then public shindigs over in the NBA Arena. That’s part of Horizon Worlds, Meta’s social VR… thing. You can snag that app for zilch.
Starting May 27th, if you wanna feel extra sporty, you can grab WNBA-themed avatar gear in the Horizon Worlds app. Because who doesn’t like sneaking in a shopping spree while watching basketball?
Here’s the lowdown on some games. Mark them if you’re keen or just curious:
– May 18: The Lynx clash with the Sparks at 3 pm. Pacific Time—not out my kitchen window.
– May 22: Liberty vs. Sky at 5 pm. Sounds like a match-up, for sure.
– May 27: Immersive alert! Sky flies over to the Mercury at 7 pm. That one’s gonna be wild.
– And so on… till September 10th when the Dream and Sun face off at 4 pm.
Why these dates stick in my head, I haven’t the foggiest. Maybe it’s the excitement or just a need to plan my snacks accordingly. Anyway, get ready to dive into virtual hoops and maybe snag some gear. Good vibes ahead!
