Briefly

The Comedy Club at the End of the Metaverse
"Soapstone's adults-only digital comedy club has been around since nearly the beginning of Meta's Horizon Worlds. It has hosted more than 5,000 events, from improv and stand-up to trivia nights and open-mic singing."
"Last week, Meta announced it would shut down Horizon Worlds in VR to focus on its mobile version; it pivoted the next day after community blowback to keep it running indefinitely."
"Come June 15, Meta plans to cut creation features in VR and stop allowing users to build updates or new content on the platform-no more new worlds or seasonal updates, except on mobile."
"Miss Del Rey says about the initial VR news, 'It came as a shock that they were shutting this down so soon.'"
Meta announced plans to shut down Horizon Worlds in VR, focusing instead on a mobile version. Following community backlash, the platform will continue but with limited features. Creation tools will be cut, preventing new content or updates in VR. The Soapstone Comedy Club, a popular venue within Horizon Worlds, has hosted over 5,000 events and is a beloved space for users. Regulars express disappointment over the changes, highlighting the importance of community and creativity in the VR environment.
