Meta has announced the integration of Horizon Venues, a virtual reality app for attending live events, with its core social VR platform, Horizon Worlds. On June 6, people over the age of 18 in the United States and Canada with Horizon Worlds on Quest 2 will be able to view Venues programming in the Horizon Worlds app.
“If you’re not in the US or Canada, are 1317 years of age, and/or are on Quest 1, you’ll lose access to Venues programming when the standalone Venues app goes away on June 6, though you’ll still be able to catch highlights and replays of Venues events in Oculus TV,” Meta said in a statement.
Horizon Worlds is a social VR experience where you can go on adventures with your friends, create your worlds, and form teams to play action-packed games.
People will be able to catch their favorite marquee shows, including live sporting events, concerts by today’s popular singers, and more, directly within Horizon Worlds from June 6.
“We plan to expand access to Horizon Worlds in more countries this summer, so even more people will be able to build their own worlds, make new friends in VR, and enjoy our slate of Venues in Horizon Worlds programming,” said the company.
Horizon Worlds’ social metaverse platform is presently only available on Quest VR headsets from the company.
Meta (previously Facebook) is developing four new virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) headsets, which will be available in 2024.
