Meta is opening up access to its “Horizon Worlds” VR platform to anyone over the age of 18 in the US and Canada for free. Users with a VR headset will be able to play, walk around and even organise events in the company’s digital universe.

Meta’s metaverse is taking shape. Or at least, this launch of “Horizon Worlds” signifies Meta’s first public attempt in the realm. This vast multiplayer platform, basically built on an environment that resembles Minecraft, a building game with blocks, aims to bring players together through different communities. Sociability and encounters will be at the heart of this project.
