Supernatural Reopens at $20 a Month, 43 Days Before Meta's Version Shuts Down

Supernatural reopened on the Horizon Store on October 21 at $20 a month or $200 a year. The download is free. The subscription is not. The monthly plan bills after a seven day trial. The annual plan bills after fourteen days and works out $40 cheaper than twelve months of monthly billing.

Meta had been charging $10 a month and $100 a year. The new rate doubles both. Members who signed up for the Founding Member offer before launch get a discounted first year, advertised at $180, provided they subscribe by December 31, under the company's promotional terms. Registration for that rate closed when the app went live.

The jump lands hardest on annual subscribers: $100 a year becomes $200, or $180 on the founder rate. The company's pre-launch FAQ was direct about where it goes, saying the price lets it keep "paying the team industry salaries with real benefits, sign our own music deals and invest in new features."

The app is listed as "Supernatural - New," a separate download from the old one. It runs on Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S and Quest Pro, in the United States and Canada only. Early Access is the first stage, with a full release planned for early next year. It ships with thousands of workouts, the six returning coaches and one new home environment, Laguna Torre, a glacial lake in Argentine Patagonia. A household membership covers the subscriber and up to three people they live with, each on a separate profile.

"Early Access gets Supernatural back into members' hands now," chief executive James Senior told Road to VR.

The history moves in two stages

VR.org asked in August whether a member's history would survive the move. The company would not say yes. Leanne Pedante, a founding coach and now head of fitness, said "we are working on it," then "I can't promise anything." As late as October 11, the FAQ said Favorites "will not carry over."

Everything carries over now. The company's launch post lists points, start date, streaks, favorites and badges, and the transfer page adds workout history. It does not all arrive on day one. "Your points and start date show up in the app straight away," the transfer page says. "Your streaks, favorites, badges and workout history show up over the coming weeks."

The import is manual. Meta holds the old data, and it does not move on its own, even when the email address matches. Any email works for the new account, and Meta or Facebook linking is not required. No membership is needed to transfer either. The history waits on the account.

Create a new account at WeAreSupernatural.com, then sign in on the headset with the code it shows.
Download your data from the old Supernatural site, signing in with Meta. It comes as a .zip file.
Upload the .zip at sn.co/transfer before 11:59 PM Pacific on December 3.

The company says it takes a couple of minutes. Miss the deadline and the history stays with Meta. The transfer page puts it plainly: "After that, it can't be brought over."

What did not ship

Supernatural Together, the real time group workout mode, is not in Early Access. The company is rebuilding it and taking beta sign ups. No date. Heart rate tracking and a new mobile app for tracking progress are also still to come. "New content starts dropping next week," the launch post says, with new workouts promised every week after that.

Glasses support is not live either. Meta named Supernatural a day one title for Meta VR Glasses at Connect, and those do not ship until spring 2027. The store listing names four Quest headsets and nothing else.

Fifteen people and a December 3 deadline

The company is small. Pedante put the staff at about 15 in August. Under Meta, the team peaked near 200. That ratio explains the Early Access label and the features still in testing.

The backstory is short. Meta agreed in 2021 to pay roughly $400 million for Within, fought off the FTC's antitrust challenge, and closed the deal in early 2023. It stopped developing the app in January 2026, then handed the product back to its founders in June. A petition asking Meta to keep it alive, or let somebody else run it, collected more than 7,800 signatures.

The old app is now Supernatural Legacy Edition. It keeps working until December 3, and both apps run side by side until then. Its listing still loads from a direct link but no longer turns up in store search. Subscriptions billed by Meta end that day. If an annual plan runs past it, the FAQ says Meta "will issue a prorated refund around that date." Billing questions about the old plan go to Meta, not the new company.

Founding members also get a custom bat, a curious reward in an app whose actual retention mechanic is a number that goes up.

For a long-time member, the order is simple. Transfer first, while the old site still hands over the file. Subscribe whenever the trial math works. The old app stops on December 3 either way, and of everything on that list, only the history cannot be fixed afterward.
