Meta is making a big improvement to the controls of its social VR platform worlds horizon– Jump is being remapped to the A button, according to a blog post about the new update v94 of the app.
You might be surprised to learn that wasn’t the case before, especially since the A button has been used extensively for jumping in video games for decades. But before now, you jumped worlds horizon pressing the right stick as if it were a button. If you ask me, that wasn’t ideal; not only does it not jump where you’d expect it to be, but the right stick is already used to rotate your character, so pushing the stick down to jump could also cause accidental turns.
The default A button will be in effect for “all players and worlds” with the update, according to Meta. The update is now available to me. when i loaded in worlds horizon after the update, I received a notification about the change and it went into effect immediately; I learned that by accident by pressing A without thinking and, well, my character jumped. If you want to go back to the old way, you can do it from the settings.
