More specifically, it concerns the “Horizon Worlds” experience and the world being shut down on the company’s VR headset in June, reports Wired. “Horizon Worlds” was Meta’s flagship venture into the so-called metaverse - a digital interactive reality that led the company, then called Facebook, to change its name to Meta.
