Meta is getting rid of Horizon Venues this summer and moving its event spaces
Things are already changing in the metaverse. Meta will be moving the event spaces from its Horizon Venues VR app over to the Horizon Worlds platform on June 6, and that’s not the only change in store for the nascent VR platform. For starters, Meta is getting rid of the standalone Horizon Venues app that same day, which will cause some groups to lose access to the event space. If you’re under the age of 18 and live outside the United States or Canada, for instance, the new Venues feature will be inaccessible. The same goes for people still playing on the old Quest 1 virtual reality headset: They’ll lose access, too. However, you’ll still have access to events via the Oculus TV app, so you can catch replays at a later date. Players outside of the US and Canada won’t have to wait too long.
