Meta Quest: Play now, pay later is only available in the US and the UK.

Meta Quest: Play now, pay later is a 12- or 24-month program*. If you qualify for the program through Affirm in the US or Klarna in the UK, you’ll receive:

US

  • A Meta Quest 3 or Meta Quest 3S headset with adjustable pre-installed Standard Facial Interface, 2 Touch Plus Controllers with wrist straps and 2 AA Batteries as well as a charging cable and power adapter
  • 2 years of Meta Horizon+
  • 2 years of Meta Warranty Plus, including accident protection, enhanced coverage without deductibles, no claim limits and quick processing

UK

  • A Meta Quest 3 or Meta Quest 3S headset with adjustable pre-installed Standard Facial Interface, 2 Touch Plus Controllers with wrist straps and 2 AA Batteries as well as a charging cable and power adapter
  • 1 year of Meta Horizon+

As soon as you activate your Meta Quest 3 or Meta Quest 3S, you will be granted access to Meta Horizon+ and all included benefits. Meta Warranty Plus will be activated at the same time as the limited warranty when the device ships to you, if applicable.

At the end of the 12 or 24 months, the headset is yours to keep, and your Meta Horizon+ and Meta Warranty Plus (if applicable) will expire. You can renew your Meta Horizon+ subscription on a monthly or annual basis, however you cannot extend Meta Warranty Plus.
