Not stopping at Super Rumble, Meta is taking a proactive approach to expand the Horizon Worlds ecosystem with compelling content. The company has granted Ouro and select partners the capability to use the import feature, paving the way for more new Horizon Worlds games set to release within the next six months.
In tandem with the development of Super Rumble and the platform improvements, the Horizon team has been diligently working on a mobile app. Though they had created one a year ago, they were dissatisfied with the result and opted to rebuild it. Once launched, the mobile app will feature cross-platform play, allowing users on mobile devices to interact seamlessly with those using VR headsets.
The introduction of a mobile app with cross-platform capabilities serves a dual purpose for Meta. It not only opens doors to a broader audience who may not possess or be inclined to invest in VR headsets but also offers the potential for increased revenue. Meta’s VR business unit, Reality Labs, reported a $3.7 billion operating loss in the second quarter of 2023, and the company hopes that broader accessibility will translate into a more financially viable future for Horizon Worlds.
