An update on the future of Meta VR & Worlds | Meta

"Over the past year, we’ve listened to feedback from developers and creators. One thing was clear: both communities needed more focus and clearer direction.

Starting in 2026, VR and Worlds will operate as two distinct platforms:

- VR is focused on third-party developers, with the Meta Horizon Store restructured around apps and games instead of Worlds.

- Worlds is going mobile-first, with dedicated tools to build for mobile.

We remain the largest investor in VR, and we’re building both platforms to support the long term success of our creator and developer communities."
