The first "metaverse" application of the company Meta (formerly Facebook) came and it looks more like a cheap imitation of Minecraft
Facebook was renamed Meta last October, to focus on metaverse construction. What we had seen so far was some weird demos.
But Mark Zuckerberg kept his promise to us brought Horizon Worlds!
It is the first chance we have to experience his iconic vision. The application is available free, but with some prealerts. You must be at least 18 years old and located in the US or Canada. In addition, you need the headset Oculus Quest 2, as the game will not be supported in Quest 1, after January 13, 2022.
Horizon Worlds was released as a beta last August, and by invitation only, to allow first-time users to experience virtual space and even create new things with tools provided by the company. In other words, it's something like Minecraft VR.
If you do not live in the US or Canada get a taste of what you could do at Horizon Worlds from the video below:
What is currently available on Horizon Worlds?
Meta has a new game called Arena Clash that you can play with friends. The company pointed out that there are also some games and actions, such as a city explorer called Wand & Broom, one arcade-style battle royale που ονομάζεται Pixel Plummet και μια virtual boat ride called Mark's Riverboat.
The social networking company is releasing tools that can make games by modifying some scripts and reducing the barrier to entry. You can read more about Horizon Worlds here.
