Meta’s social VR platform Horizon Worlds hasn’t been accessible to everybody, with the corporate proscribing the app’s use to only some international locations. Now it’s rightfully rolling out to each area the place Quest is supported.
Regardless of being accessible on the internet since last January, geolocation restrictions solely allowed Quest customers entry in choose international locations, which included Canada, France, Iceland, Eire, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Meta in the present day introduced that beginning this week the corporate will start rolling out Horizon Worlds “to individuals in all Meta Quest markets in supported languages so extra individuals can join with one another across the globe.”
This contains entry for customers 13+ throughout the next Quest-supported areas: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Eire, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the UK, and the USA. Customers should be 14+ in South Korea and Spain.
This comes as the corporate ostensibly seeks to advertise Horizon Worlds as a extra basic social layer to its quickly rising platform, which is quickly set to incorporate third-party VR headsets for the first time.
Horizon Worlds will come half and parcel with Horizon OS (ex-Quest OS) and the Horizon Retailer (ex-Quest Retailer), which might be accessible on Quest-like headsets constructed by ASUS, Lenovo and Xbox.
