"We have decided, just today in fact, that we will keep Horizon Worlds working in VR. Only games and experiences that already support VR will continue to do so, while new games will be exclusive to mobile, and the majority of the team's development focus will be on mobile instead of VR."
"In February, Meta announced that it would be shifting the focus of Worlds to be almost exclusively mobile. It also announced changes to how its marketplace for VR software works, putting all the emphasis on supporting third-party developers in lieu of major first-party development."
Meta announced it will continue supporting VR in Horizon Worlds despite previously planning to shift focus to mobile. Existing games and experiences with VR support will remain functional, but all new games will be mobile-exclusive. The company's development priorities have shifted toward mobile rather than VR. This decision follows Meta's February announcement to focus Worlds almost exclusively on mobile and restructure its marketplace to emphasize third-party developer support instead of first-party content creation. Meta had previously laid off 1,000 Reality Labs employees in January, primarily from teams developing first-party software for Quest VR headsets.
