BlockBeats news, on March 18, Bloomberg reported that Meta Platforms stated its Meta Quest headset users will no longer be able to access Horizon Worlds—a virtual space where users meet and play games using cartoon avatars. This marks another step in the company’s ongoing reduction of its “metaverse” initiatives, which once held a central place in Mark Zuckerberg’s strategy.
Meta stated on Tuesday that, starting June 15, consumers will no longer be able to create, publish, or update virtual reality worlds on Quest headsets or access them through Meta Horizon Worlds. However, users will still be able to access these virtual worlds via the Meta Horizon app.
