Meta reverses decision to shut down its Horizon Worlds VR platform

Meta announced it would shut down the virtual reality environment Horizon Worlds, but then quickly reversed course. The company said it will now keep the VR platform running 'for the foreseeable future.'

The initial shutdown announcement reportedly followed a backlash from users. The reversal means the VR version of Horizon Worlds will continue to operate alongside a mobile version the company is also developing.
