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 app is available for free, but with a few caveats. You must be at least 18 years old and located in the US or Canada. In addition, you need it headset Oculus Quest 2, as the game will not be supported in Quest 1, after January 13, 2022.
The Horizon Worlds είχε κυκλοφορήσει σαν beta τον περασμένο Αύγουστο, και μόνο με πρόσκληση, για να επιτρέψει στους πρώτους χρήστες να βιώσουν τον εικονικό χώρο και ακόμη και να δημιουργήσουν νέα πράγματα με tools provided by the company. In other words, it's kind of 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 highlighted that there are also some games and actions, such as a city explorer called Wand & Broom, an arcade-style battle royale called Pixel Plummet, and a 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.
