Meta expands its partnership with the NBA to offer 52 games in VR
|
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 on Monday. The Meta Quest is the official headset of the NBA, as the company signed a deal with the league back in 2020.
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 and NBA 2K League games over the course of the season. In Meta Horizon Worlds, you’ll also be able to access game highlights, recaps and archival content.
Users can visit the dedicated NBA Arena in Meta Horizon Worlds starting today to watch NBA content with friends, compete in interactive mini-games and support their favorite teams. Meta says that in the future, fans will be able to watch even more content in the app with an NBA League Pass subscription.
Meta also announced that it’s partnering with the league to launch NBA-licensed apparel in Meta’s Avatar Store in the coming weeks. Users will be able to purchase their favorite NBA or WNBA team apparel for their avatar and showcase it across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and on Meta Quest.
“Meta’s immersive VR technology is opening up new opportunities for sports fans to engage and interact with their favorite NBA teams,” said Meta Director of Sports Media and League Partnerships Rob Shaw in a blog post. “Fans will be able to express their fandom by donning their favorite team’s gear on Avatars and enjoy more live NBA games and experience NBA League Pass in a much more social and immersive way.
The games available in VR on Meta Quest in January include Milwaukee Bucks vs. Detroit Pistons on January 23, Denver Nuggets vs. New Orleans Pelicans on January 24, Denver Nuggets vs. Milwaukee Bucks on January 24, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder on January 27, Los Angeles Clippers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers on January 29 and Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers on January 31.

Oppo Reno8 T 4G Sunset Orange model poses for the camera, revealing key specs – GSMArena.com news – GSMArena.com



Oppo will launch the Reno8 T 4G in the Philippines on February 8, and we already know what it looks like since Oppo has listed it on its online store. The company hasn’t divulged the Reno8 T 4G’s specs, but rumors claimed it will be powered by the Helio G99 SoC. We can confirm that Reno8 T 4G will have the Helio G99 chip at the helm, thanks to live images of the smartphone we received from an anonymous tipster.
We received three pictures, one of which shows us the “About device” screen of the Reno8 T 4G (CPH2481), displaying the smartphone’s specs: Helio G99 SoC, 6.43″ screen, and Android 13-based ColorOS 13. The smartphone has 8GB RAM (+8GB virtual RAM) and 256GB storage, but there could be more memory options that are yet to be officially confirmed.
The Oppo Reno8 T 4G will come with four cameras – a 32MP selfie camera inside the display’s punch hole and a 100MP primary camera on the rear joined by two 2MP units.
Another image shows us the screen refresh rate settings, which confirm the Reno8 T 4G will pack a 90Hz screen, and you’ll have the option to choose between 60Hz and 90Hz refresh rates. However, there is no Auto option on the Reno8 T 4G, which can automatically switch refresh rates depending on the apps and content displayed on the screen. This picture also shows the NFC icon in the status bar, meaning the Reno8 T 4G will have an NFC chip onboard.
The third photo shows us the Reno8 T 4G’s rear. We are looking at the Sunset Orange version with a leather design, but it’s unclear if this is the Fibreglass-Leather design we’ve previously seen on F21 Pro 4G or something different.
We know the Oppo Reno8 T 4G will also come in Midnight Black color with the Oppo Glow design, and it remains to be seen if there will be more color options or just these two.

There’s also a 5G variant of the Oppo Reno8 T, which packs a curved screen with a centered punch hole. It’s rumored to come with the Snapdragon 695 chip, and we are expecting it to be launched in the first or second week of February.
