With Xtadium you can teleport between cameras on the sidelines and behind the basket, giving you the best view at all times. You can also virtually sit with friends if they also have a Quest headset, and they will appear next to you as their meta-avatar.

The 52 immersive 180-degree games are free, but NBA League Pass subscribers can also watch all games on floating 2D virtual TV screens in mixed reality using Xtadium's multi-game mode. This mode supports up to nine games simultaneously and you can apparently see stats and alerts too.

You can also watch the NBA games in 180 degrees in Meta Horizon Worlds, which also includes an NBA arena where you can “play interactive games like Slam Dunk Jam and Basket Blitz to show off your skills while “Hanging out with other fans.”
