Supernatural returns to Meta headsets as independent early-access app

Supernatural returns to Meta headsets as an independent early-access app, priced at $20 a month or $200 a year.

The app now costs $20 per month or $200 per year. Engadget reported that this was the original subscription price when Supernatural first launched in 2020. The Verge reported that the newly independent app costs more than before, rising from $9.99 per month to $20 per month or $200 per year.

The early-access version already includes thousands of workouts, including remastered favorites, according to Engadget. It has hundreds of music tracks and a new virtual environment based on a glacial lake. Up to four people in one household can share a headset. Returning members can transfer points, badges and fitness streaks; The Verge reported that transfers of points, start date, streaks, favorites and badges are available through Dec. 3.

Supernatural's team said new workouts will arrive every week. Engadget reported that the first batch of new workouts will arrive at the end of the month, while The Verge reported that new workouts will begin arriving every week starting next week. More back-catalog favorites are expected to return in the weeks and months ahead, along with new music, higher-definition destinations and new features.

CEO James Senior said, according to Engadget, that the team was making a comeback thanks to the Supernatural community.

The company is working on rebuilding Supernatural Together, the real-time workout platform that lets people exercise with friends online. Engadget reported that the feature is in testing and will not be available for a while; The Verge listed its return among features coming later and said it has been rebuilt from the ground up. Supernatural is also developing a mobile companion app for tracking fitness progress and heart rate and staying connected beyond the headset. More virtual environments are planned in the coming weeks, and founding members are being offered rewards, starting with a custom bat, The Verge reported.

Meta paused new content for Supernatural earlier this year. The app has relaunched as an independent entity, with an early-access release that already features remastered workouts and returning member data.
