Horizon Worlds lets you build worlds and jump into them with people. We've made it possible for everyone to create, and are seeing people build new games together and throw surprise parties in VR with family and friends.
Soon, we'll introduce your social Horizon Home space where you can invite your friends to join you as avatars. You’ll be able to hang out, watch videos together, and jump into apps together.
Get Together, Wherever
Welcome to Horizon Worlds, a social experience where you can explore, play and create. With new worlds in the making, you can join together with people around the world in ever-expanding adventures and amazing experiences. Discover new places with friends, solve interactive puzzles or form teams to compete in action-packed games. You can even design worlds of your own or get to know other members of the community and be inspired by their creations. In Horizon Worlds, you're not just a visitor. You're part of what makes it great.
