Meta's Horizon Worlds Now on Web and Mobile, But Lacks Content Compared to Roblox and Fortnite

  • Horizon Worlds is now available on the web and mobile, providing faster access compared to VR but currently limited to one game.

  • The web experience loads quickly, but mobile has some lag and requires making it a home screen app on iOS.

  • The one game, Super Rumble, gets dull quickly, so more worlds need to be added to make it compelling.

  • Compared to Roblox and Fortnite, Horizon Worlds lacks content diversity across platforms.

  • Performance issues on mobile need to be ironed out before expanding worlds, but more content is expected soon.
