I checked out Horizon Worlds two years ago and wrote about my experiences, comparing it to Rec Room and VRChat. Horizon World is about to be pulled from VR platforms, so that's a fun time capsule now!

My opinions have changed a bit over time, but now we know that even with the near-unlimited time and resources of a big tech company, Meta could not come close to what the furries have cooked up in VRChat.

Never mind! "We have decided, just today in fact, that we will keep Horizon Worlds working in VR.."

Meta decides not to kill Horizon Worlds VR after all

VR will be on life support while mobile remains the focus, though.
