Meta U-turns on Horizon Worlds Closure: VR Platform Lives On, But No New Features

Meta has reversed its decision to shut down Horizon Worlds, a virtual reality platform, on Quest devices. Existing apps will continue to run indefinitely, but no new features or content will be added. This change came after Metas CTO, Andrew Bosworth, received feedback during an online Q&A session. VR users and developers expressed relief, as the platform was set to end on June 15th. Meta is now focusing on turning Horizon Worlds into a mobile app and ending other VR projects. A new VR headset is expected next year, as Meta shifts priorities towards AI and augmented reality glasses.
