#Meta virtual worlds platform

Meta is rolling out major upgrades to Horizon Worlds, its Roblox-like social platform, with the goal of making the metaverse more appealing to both players and creators. The most significant change is the introduction of the new Horizon Engine, which Meta says will deliver better graphics, faster performance, and the ability to support larger numbers of players in virtual spaces.
