According to the statement, a small number of users can now enter the Super Rumble game space through the Meta Quest Android app. A version for iOS devices will be released in the coming weeks.
Local access is also possible on the Horizon Worlds website using any web browser.
“While Quest headsets are the most immersive way to participate in the metaverse, we believe there should be multiple entry points. Bringing worlds to more surfaces is a step towards realizing this concept and opening up the experience to more people,” Meta said.
In the announcement, the company emphasized that the metaverse uses the same security features for mobile and web as on Quest, including teen protection.
All versions of Horizon Worlds are free, and anyone over 13 years old can participate in the virtual space. At the time of writing, the app is only supported in Canada, France, Iceland, Ireland, Spain, UK and US.
Based on feedback and experience, the company intends to expand the early availability of the metaverse in mobile or web versions after receiving recommendations.
“As we roll out more worlds over the next few months, you'll be able to hang out with friends, laugh with them at comedy shows, and enjoy free concerts and events from any connected device,” Meta said.
In April, representatives of a human rights organization asked the company to introduce restrictions on the admission of minors to the metaverse.
