Mobile & Web

Meta Horizon Mobile is part of Meta’s evolving vision for connected digital experiences — a shared, cross‑platform space where people can play, create, and collaborate across Mobile and Web. It blends the creativity of Roblox with the social reach of Facebook and Instagram, all within a safer, game‑focused environment for mobile and web players.

Development is done through the Horizon Worlds Desktop Editor, which comes with generative AI tools for creating 3D models, textures, skyboxes, and more. TypeScript is used to code game mechanics and interactions with various gizmos. This platform is great for anyone looking to build a mobile game with minimal effort. With the addition of Claude code, creating a social mobile game is accessible to anyone. The biggest perk is not having to deal with the complexities of networking in digital experiences. A great way to learn about developing mobile games with no cost entry and low-skill entry, perfect for those who know nothing about game development who want to learn.

World Building

Inside Horizon Worlds, there is a suite of visual, drag and drop tools that can be used to build multiplayer worlds. Some examples of worlds that can be built are escape rooms, virtual night clubs and a parkour obstacle course. Builders can be any MHCP member who has a creator account. Think of it like Minecraft, but more detailed and polished. You have the option of using Horizon Assets or importing 3D models to design worlds. You have an option to use generative AI to automatically create a 3D model as well which can be used as-is or even exported out and imported back into the game. All tools are free but have limits on usage. This allows those who are not 3D modelers to effectively generate objects for use in their game design and development process. Build worlds and learn game development at your own pace.
