Meta Connect put a CLEAR date window on a fitness franchise many Quest owners wrote off: SUPERNATURAL returns to the Meta Horizon Store this FALL under independent studio SUPERNATURAL HEALTH — and Meta says it will be a DAY-ONE title on META VR GLASSES.
What Meta Promised at Connect
In its Connect games announcement, Meta describes the relaunch in plain terms: every POINT, STREAK, and BADGE intact; new higher-definition environments, workouts, and music; and a slate of improvements shipping this year and beyond. Boxing and rhythm FLOW workouts return with coaches members already know. The company also positions Supernatural as a day-one Meta VR Glasses experience, arguing LIGHTER hardware and higher visual FIDELITY will make coaches feel closer and destinations SHARPER than on prior Quest hardware.
UploadVR’s reporting adds product-side color: optional light blockers and a rear “croakies”-style strap for vigorous sessions on Meta VR Glasses, plus early signs of a HANDS-FREE exercise mode that may bring HAND TRACKING into workouts for the first time.
Independent Pricing — and Why It Doubled
Supernatural Health is not launching at Meta’s discounted 2023 rate. Per Mixed News and UploadVR, US and Canada pricing is $19.99 MONTHLY or $199.99 ANNUALLY — a RETURN to the app’s ORIGINAL ~$20 list after Meta cut it to $9.99/$99.99 at Connect 2023. Members who register on wearesupernatural.com before launch can LOCK a FOUNDING first-year rate of $180. Monthly billing opens at launch; the founding window is annual-only until then.
The studio’s June member letter, covered earlier by The Verge, framed the SPIN-OUT bluntly: ORIGINAL founders and coaches rebuild as a smaller independent company, and the HIGHER fee funds salaries, music deals, and new features. Meta still handles billing for the LEGACY app through DECEMBER 3, 2026; annual plans running past that date get a PRORATED refund around shutdown.
Streaks: Meta Says Intact, Studio Says Working
Readers should note a REAL gap between press lines. Meta’s Connect copy states streaks and badges come across INTACT. Supernatural Health’s own language, as reported by Mixed News, is more careful: the team is “working hard” to bring forward points, streaks, and join dates, while FAVORITES (My List) will NOT carry over. New accounts and a SEPARATE privacy policy mean old Meta profiles do not TRANSFER; each household member needs their own login. Shared subscriptions are not confirmed for day one.
Quest 2 support is qualified: Supernatural says it will keep the headset as long as Meta does. The company is also offering up to 100 fully SPONSORED twelve-month memberships in year one for US/Canada applicants 18+, with unfilled slots open through December 31, 2026.
Why It Matters for Metaverse Watchers
Supernatural’s path — FTC-fought ACQUISITION, content FREEZE, community PUSHBACK, then an INDEPENDENT reboot with Meta as storefront and day-one glasses PARTNER — is a rare soft landing in VR fitness. The FALL Quest return is the near-term product story; the Meta VR Glasses day-one CLAIM is the STRATEGIC one, tying a proven cardio franchise to Meta’s Spring 2027 glasses launch. Wishlist is LIVE now. Exact ship day inside “this fall” remains UNNAMED.
