After two years, Meta has opened its Horizon Worlds metaverse video game up to users on phones and web browsers. The company announced Thursday that Horizon Worlds is no longer limited to users who shell out for one of the company’s expensive VR headsets. The expansion starts with Meta’s Super Rumble shooting game, and will soon include a number of other “Worlds,” as the company calls its apps and experiences. In other words, Meta is working on a metaverse that’s no longer a metaverse.
“The metaverse should be available to everyone—no matter what device they’re on,” Meta said in a blog post. “And while Quest headsets are the most immersive way to access the metaverse, we believe there should be multiple entry points. Bringing Worlds to more surfaces is a step toward delivering on that vision and opening up the experience to more people.”

For now though, it’s all FOMO for most of us. Meta says the new versions of Super Rumble are only available to a “small number” of people for now. I tried to play and just ended up on a wait-list. When it is available to you, you’ll be able to play on Android, web browsers at horizon.meta.com, and iOS at some point in the coming weeks.
