By investing in mobile content, we can reach a lot of new people who don’t yet own a Quest headset and ultimately grow the pie for everyone. That’s why, as part of our $50 million Creator Fund for creators of mobile and MR worlds, we’re also announcing our first creator competition of the year with a focus on mobile.

We’re also investing heavily to develop the tools that will enable and empower creators to build engaging worlds on mobile and in mixed reality. Starting today, any creator age 13+ in a country where Horizon Worlds is available can download our new desktop editor in early access and start building.
