What is the name of Meta's virtual reality platform?

Meta's virtual reality platform is Horizon Worlds. It is an online multiplayer social platform and game-creation system developed and published by Meta Platforms, where users can create avatars, visit user-built spaces, and attend shared events.

The project was first announced by Facebook in 2019 under the name Facebook Horizon. Facebook renamed it Horizon Worlds on October 7, 2021, and released it publicly in the United States and Canada on December 9 of that year. Its original experience centered on virtual-reality headsets, hand controllers, and user-generated three-dimensional environments.

The alternatives describe different products or earlier services. Facebook Spaces was an earlier social-VR application, while Oculus Rift and Meta Quest are headset lines rather than the name of this platform. Horizon Worlds later expanded beyond headsets: web and mobile versions were released in September 2023, broadening access to its social and creative features.
