‘Spotify’ Now Available on Quest, Enabling Background Music Playback

The thrill of new tech is… well, thrilling. So, get this—Spotify hit Quest with a web app! Yeah, it’s like, you can do your virtual thing and have tunes rolling in the backdrop. No idea why I’m excited, but here we go.

Now, this isn’t your standard app—nope. It’s what they’re calling a progressive web app, or PWA. Fancy, right? Essentially, it pops open its own browser window, like magic. Okay, maybe not magic, but still kinda cool.

Oh, heads up: you won’t be jamming offline like on your phone. But hey, who cares when you can ditch the routine of booting up the browser and fumbling around for Spotify’s site every time.

Picture this (or don’t, no pressure): headphones on, plugged into Spotify world while you wander through VR lands. Music and podcasts galore—minimized, maximized, sideways (probably not)—but they’re yours to explore. Lyrics, playlists, videos, all there. And you don’t even have to pay extra. It’s there in the Horizon Store, chillin’ for Quest 2 and all that jazz.

Anyway—wait, where was I? Right, it’s free for both subscribers—and not. Seems like, whether you’re a Spotify loyalist or just streaming on the side, this is here to level up your Quest experience. So, go on, give it a whirl.
