Open for Submissions: Meta Horizon+

Meta Horizon+ is a subscription program that gives players access to apps from the Meta Horizon Store through monthly drops and two rotating catalogs: the games catalog, and the beta indie catalog. For developers, the program offers an opportunity to increase discoverability and build lasting exposure (more on that later).

Now, we’re making it easier than ever to join Meta Horizon+. Developers can express interest in joining directly through the Developer Dashboard—no invite required. If your app meets a few key quality and performance criteria, you can easily submit it for review and be considered for the program’s beta indie catalog, a curated showcase of hidden gems and breakout titles.

Keep reading to learn how joining Meta Horizon+ can boost engagement and revenue.

Why Join Meta Horizon+?

Meta Horizon+ helps developers align their success with player engagement. Apps included in the program benefit from:

Revenue boosts: Unlock new revenue streams with Meta Horizon+. Apps in the program can earn more each month than they do through base sales alone.

Player base growth: Being part of Meta Horizon+ can help more players discover your app and can lead to increased reach and install momentum.

Increased engagement: The subscription model encourages players to go beyond the first session and build lasting habits with the apps they discover.

How It Works

Starting today, eligible developers can access a new page in the Developer Dashboard where apps can be submitted via an interest form. Once the form is complete, your app will be reviewed by our content team. If approved, it will be featured in a dedicated Meta Horizon+ shelf that’s designed to highlight quality titles submitted through this new program.

If your app is selected, it will still be available for purchase in the Meta Horizon Store as usual without any changes to pricing, in-app purchases or content control, making Meta Horizon+ an easy, low-lift addition to your monetization strategy.

Who Can Participate?

To ensure a strong user experience, Meta Horizon+ includes titles that meet baseline thresholds around:

App quality and rating

User engagement

Time in market

Revenue consistency

These criteria are subject to change over time as we refine the program and expand access. If your app is a good fit, we encourage you to submit it for consideration.

Get Started

To see if your app qualifies, visit the new Meta Horizon+ page in the Developer Dashboard and submit the short interest form in just a few minutes.

We’re excited to expand Meta Horizon+ and support more developers in bringing great content to players through a subscription experience designed to benefit everyone.
