Why Mark Zuckerberg is shutting down Meta's Horizon World five years after calling it next big thing and $80 billion investment

Meta is ending its Horizon Worlds virtual reality platform for Quest headsets. After a massive investment of $80 billion, the company is removing the VR app by June 2026. This move follows a significant shift in focus towards artificial intelligence. Horizon Worlds will continue as a mobile-only app. This marks the end of an era for Meta's metaverse ambitions.
