Meta Ditches Horizon Worlds VR, Bets on Mobile and AI

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.
