Overview
- Meta will keep Horizon Worlds functioning in VR for current Unity-runtime games for the foreseeable future after initially planning a shutdown.
- No new Horizon Worlds games will launch in VR as the company directs most development toward the mobile platform.
- Earlier in the week, Meta said it would delist Horizon Worlds from the Quest store on March 31 and remove the VR version on June 15.
- Bosworth said VR adoption has lagged expectations, reinforcing Meta’s shift in investment priorities toward mobile, AI and wearables.
- Reality Labs has accumulated reported losses of roughly $70–$80 billion since 2021, with about 1,000–1,500 jobs cut in January, and Horizon Worlds has struggled to grow beyond a few hundred thousand users.
