Design · 6 min read

Horizon Studio bundles a visual scripting editor, live authoring workflows, and an optimized asset pipeline for Quest. Creators can iterate in real time while viewers join as participants, making it easier to prototype game levels, virtual events, and training simulations.

The platform adds support for modular monetization, letting creators sell passes, virtual goods, and gated interactions. Meta emphasized discoverability improvements and moderation tools to keep shared spaces safe and compliant with community standards.

Integration with Meta's Creator Suite enables cross-posting highlights to Reels and Instagram, while a partnered content certification program helps studios access higher visibility and testing resources. The studio aims to lower the barrier for interactive production on Meta hardware.
