TL;DR

Meta will shut Horizon Worlds’ VR experience on Quest headsets by June 15, 2026 (apps and events vanish from Quest by March 31), transitioning the platform to mobile-only. Purchases and user-created items stay tied to your account but will only work in mobile-optimized worlds, with VR-building ending after June 15. Meta says the move is part of a broader shift from VR-first development to AI and hardware, focusing on third-party developers and enhancing Quest features rather than exiting VR altogether.
