PAYDAY: Aces High joins Meta Horizon+ on November 5, bringing four-player VR heists to subscribers
Quest owners with Meta Horizon+ will be able to play PAYDAY: Aces High when the VR heist shooter launches on November 5. The game's official account confirmed the subscription addition alongside a new trailer recorded on Quest 3.
The announcement gives subscribers another way to try Fast Travel Games' four-player spin-off without buying a separate copy at launch. Horizon+ is a paid subscription, and access to its rotating catalogue depends on the subscription and the game remaining available in it.
Aces High is also coming to Steam for PC VR. The Horizon+ announcement concerns Meta's Quest subscription; it does not say that a subscription unlocks a copy on Steam.

The new PAYDAY game puts four players on a VR heist crew
Fast Travel Games is both developer and publisher of the VR-only entry. Its official game page describes a crew set up by businessman Warren Jupiter and seeking revenge by targeting his interests.
Players can work with up to three others, choosing equipment for a quiet approach or a fight. The developers describe weapons ranging from pistols to shotguns and gadgets including grappling and sentry guns. Money and reputation earned in the game can be spent on skills and equipment.
The four Aces each have a role in the game's fiction: the Mastermind, Ghost, Technician and Enforcer. The developer says players can mix weapons, gadgets and skills when building a loadout.
Steam lists single-player, online co-op and cross-platform multiplayer among the game's features. A VR headset is required for the Steam version. Steam lists support for Valve Index, Steam Frame, Quest via Link and Oculus Rift S, as well as OpenXR.

What the Horizon+ announcement means for Quest players
The PAYDAY: Aces High account says the game will be available through Horizon+ at launch on November 5. The trailer accompanying the announcement was recorded on Quest 3.
Meta describes Horizon+ as a subscription with a rotating catalogue and separate monthly games. Catalogue titles can change, so subscribers should check the listing when they plan to play rather than assume access is permanent. Subscription terms and availability can vary by region.
