Meta has reversed its decision to end VR support for Horizon Worlds, as confirmed by CTO Andrew Bosworth in an Instagram post. Initially, Meta had planned to restrict the app to web and mobile platforms starting June 15, but this decision was quickly overturned. Though Horizon Worlds will remain accessible via Quest, the consideration of shutting it down underscores the challenges faced by Meta’s metaverse ambitions. Despite Meta’s plans to continue supporting Horizon Worlds in VR, the company is shifting focus to mobile due to better market prospects. The app has seen 45 million total downloads but remains a minor revenue source, emphasizing the need for increased consumer spending to justify Meta’s investment in the metaverse.
