Meta Brings Horizon Worlds Metaverse to Mobile Devices and Web Browsers

Remember Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse app that received a fair amount of criticism last year? Well, here’s some exciting news – you don’t even need a VR headset to visit the metaverse anymore! Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has announced that it has started rolling out its Horizon Worlds metaverse ecosystem to mobile devices and desktop web browsers. And what’s more, you can already try it out for yourself!

Meta’s Horizon Worlds is entering its “early access” phase, meaning that only those who have been permitted access by Meta can join at this point. However, you can request access on the Meta website or through the Meta Quest Android app. Support for iOS devices is also expected to be available “in the coming weeks.”

At the moment, the available experience in the Horizon Worlds metaverse is a multiplayer shooter game called Super Rumble. But don’t fret, this is just the beginning. Meta’s blog post suggests that more laid-back social experiences, such as virtual comedy shows and concerts, will be made available in the metaverse in due course.

However, it hasn’t been a smooth ride for Horizon Worlds over the past year. The metaverse app garnered attention not only for its concept but also due to a visual style that some social media critics deemed lacking. This led to Mark Zuckerberg finding himself in a defensive position even before most people had a chance to try it out. Nevertheless, Meta’s decision to make Horizon Worlds accessible on mobile devices and web browsers not only shows their motivation to improve but also provides a smart move to expand its user base.

This move by Meta to bring Horizon Worlds to a wider audience could be seen as a strategy to further entice users to explore the metaverse, especially as the launch of the highly anticipated Meta Quest 3 VR headset approaches. While it may seem like this move devalues the importance of VR headsets, it also opens up opportunities for people who may not have had access to a headset, making metaverse experiences more accessible and inclusive.

So why not give it a try? Venture into the Horizon Worlds metaverse and immerse yourself in this new shared digital realm. Who knows, you might just find yourself loving it! So grab your mobile device or hop onto your web browser and get ready to embark on an exciting virtual journey. The metaverse awaits!
