It is reported that the Meta metacosmos service "Horizon World" mobile application will be launched soon.

CTOnews.com July 29 news, according to overseas reporter Janko Roettgers report, Meta long-term development of VR meta-universe service "Horizon World" mobile version may soon be launched.

Meta has previously confirmed that it is developing a mobile version of Horizon World, which is currently available on Quest VR devices. Meta had built a mobile version that worked last year, according to the latest report, but Metaverse deputy director Nishal Shah said in an interview: "We didn't release it in the end. It's a little too much like a mobile VR game compared to the mobile native experience. "

Shah did not specify when the mobile app would be released. At the end of January, Meta said Horizon World would be available "soon" on mobile devices and web pages, but so far it has not been launched.

Shah told Roettgers that Super Rumble, a shooter that just launched inside Horizon World, will be one of the first games to be tested on Horizon World's mobile platform. The experience of this game is significantly better than most other games on the platform because it uses imported objects, resources and texture construction, which was previously impossible for Horizon World. Currently Meta developers can import external resources for development, and this feature will be open to more developers in the future.

CTOnews.com previously reported that Horizon World was not a successful project for Meta. In October last year, foreign media reported that the platform had fewer than 200,000 users. Meta's recently launched social platform Threads, by contrast, reached 100 million users in a matter of days.
