In a surprising reversal, Meta has decided not to shut down its Horizon Worlds virtual reality platform, despite previous indications that the company was planning to phase it out. Horizon Worlds, which was once a cornerstone of Meta's plans to build a robust social metaverse, will continue to operate as the tech giant reassesses its strategy.
Just a few months ago, reports had surfaced that Meta was considering shutting down Horizon Worlds, which had failed to gain significant traction among users. The platform, which allows people to create and explore virtual worlds using Meta's Quest VR headsets, had struggled to attract and retain a large user base, leading some to question the viability of the company's broader metaverse ambitions.
