What is Horizon Worlds?

Horizon Worlds is a metaverse world developed and operated by Facebook and Meta, respectively. You immerse yourself in this world using VR technology and move in a 3D world.

Horizon Worlds is specifically designed to play games with other users or spend time together. Virtual reality creates a very special intensity and user experience that clearly differs from classic “multi-user online games” or web conferences.

In the future, it will also be possible to create your own games in Horizon Worlds and play them together or alone.

Currently, access is only accessible via Meta’s VR headsets from Oculus. There is currently no web version or generally accessible app.
