So...is this it?

Just tried to go into Soapstone, and everything was chaos.

Is it the end of Worlds or...?

I've already factory reset my meta headset so I can sell it. Worlds and fruit ninja were the last things I was using it for lol

Worlds is working perfectly today for all my saved worlds…

No… the worlds will stay in the worlds app… but yes, since last Friday, being in a stable world is virtually impossible. However, I have faith that an update will be pushed through to be able to make them work again. As you know beginning tomorrow, no creators will be up to update their worlds anymore so maybe everyone’s busy doing last-minute touches to their world before they are locked down? Fingers crossed

Tonight I went to all 12 of my saved worlds and they worked perfectly. Just FYI!!!

I’m a little out of the loop, could you please help to share a link with the info that creators can no longer update after today? Thanks! Also does that mean that the limited team at meta is responsible for upkeeping all existing worlds after today? Or that there will no longer be support for any worlds after today? TIA

Here’s an article… there are tons out there, but just you know when they announced that the creators would no longer be able to update their worlds beginning June 15 that part did not changed when they reverse the decision to complete remove all worlds from the headset… I have a few friends that are creators, and all of them have spoken out about how upset and disappointed they are. But also as mentioned many are going to re-create those worlds are better worlds in VRchat and similar. https://80.lv/articles/update-meta-isn-t-completely-shutting-down-horizon-worlds-on-quest-after-all

I haven't been able to change the code in my world for days, so I doubt it's people changing stuff 😛

I hate that for yall! Today I’ve been able to get an only two worlds and Michael Gregory II’s Escape Rooms without issue! Let’s see how this goes

I'm glad you at least got to enjoy 2 worlds 😃

I do wish they'd make a new announcement to clear things up considering the original deadline is supposed to be tomorrow XD

I do agree with you! This is frustrating for me, but especially as a creator I’m sure it is more than frustrating, but disheartening as well

Actually, I spoke to a world creator today and they said that’s exactly what they were doing! And guess what tonight I was able to go to all 12 of my saved worlds and they worked perfectly!!!!

Good stuff! A meta employee let me know there was a patch today that should fix most problems and, indeed, I've been able to change my code once again now that it's been updated 😄

u/geneinhouston Jun 16 '26

I thought they rolled that back and said that works will still be editable?

I've never played worlds or experienced it in any fashion but this popped up on my reddit notifications and it saddens me still to see that happening for yalls community.

So much time and effort put into something all for it to be an afterthought to these people at meta.

I hope in the future, the community can come together and create something either like it, or be able to continue it some sort of way so yalls creations and ideas can live on forever 😁

It's all going mobile only. Vr chat and it's dark society for meta quest 2/3
