Meta’s social platform called Horizon Worlds is a thing that you probably don’t know about or you forgot ever since its release (you probably use it if you have a Meta Quest and are in the US or Canada and are above 18)

It is Meta’s first attempt at making something resembling The Metaverse that Mark Zuckerberg Showed off at the Metaverse keynote. This is a multiplayer platform that resembles Roblox and the Oasis world from Ready Player One (Pretty exciting and scary to be honest)

This social platform was first announced in September of 2019 as a private beta, but it still has come a long way from just being a Minecraft-like environment for building games or other stuff. It is pretty much a lot more complex And better than what it was in the private beta app before.

This is an open-world game and kind of is like what it is in the Oasis in Ready Player One, Safety is also a very big concern for this kind of environment. There have been many concerns due to different kinds of harassment and abuse on The platform and the Meta Employees do say that it is very unfortunate and they are working on getting the block feature a bit closer to find.

Effect of this social media platform. Horizon Worlds is the human guides that do stay there to greet new users as they teleport from the Plaza to different worlds. Currently, there is no way to make money in Horizon worlds either as a creator or player or any guide. Until monetization is added, Meta hopes that the world-building aspects of Horizon Worlds will entice people And more will join in.
