Meta Discontinues Horizon Worlds for Quest Headsets as Focus Moves to AI – Bloomberg
Meta Platforms Inc. said that users of its Quest headsets will lose access to Horizon Worlds, a virtual destination where cartoon versions of people can meet up and play games, marking the latest pullback from a strategy once central to Mark Zuckerberg’s vision of a so-called metaverse.
Starting June 15, consumers will no longer be able to build, publish or update virtual reality worlds, or access Meta Horizon Worlds on Meta Quest headsets, the company said on Tuesday. Access to the virtual worlds will continue on the Meta Horizon mobile app.
