Overview
- Horizon Worlds will disappear from the Quest Store on March 31, 2026 and will no longer be usable in VR after June 15, with access continuing via the Meta Horizon mobile app.
- Meta will remove Horizon Central, Events Arena, Kaiju, and Bobber Bay from VR by March 31, and Hyperscape Capture will stop supporting sharing and co-experiences on March 24.
- Horizon-specific Meta Horizon Plus perks, including Meta Credits, digital clothing, avatars, and in‑world purchases, will be dropped from the subscription by March 31.
- The company says it is separating the Quest VR and Worlds platforms so each can grow with greater focus, making Horizon a mobile‑only experience.
- The decision follows persistent Reality Labs losses, including a $6.02 billion Q4 2025 operating loss and roughly 10% staff cuts with studio closures, even as Meta maintains a VR hardware roadmap and invests more heavily in AI and wearable devices like Ray‑Ban smart glasses.
