Goals worlds horizon The VR social network is receiving missions. No, not the Quest headset, but in-game quests with rewards that can make your experiences more fun to visit and more interesting to return to.
With the new missions, which now they are in tests, you can complete certain tasks in a certain world to earn in-game rewards, such as clothes for your avatar. Meta testing takes place in an experience called Giant Mini Padel Golf, which is set on a whimsical miniature golf course where you use a paddle to hit a ball towards each hole. If you are in the trial, you can access the mission screen from a new icon that you will see on the card with your profile picture, and when you complete a mission on that screen, you will get a prize.
In the case of Giant Mini Padel Golf, completing missions like finishing the course or getting a hole in one will earn you various nautical-themed clothes for your avatars by making things. But it’s easy to see how the quests could be used in other experiences and offer themed rewards to match. (I suspect that some of the 20 new Horizon experiences Meta reportedly has in the works will use quests in some way). However, I’m also imagining a bleak future where big brands create special worlds, quests, and items to help market themselves in the Metaverse. (Maybe the next world of the Walmart metaverse will be in Horizon.)
Quests could also help Meta keep Quest headset users engaged, something that has already proven to be a problem with worlds horizon. Many of the experiences presented to me in worlds horizon display player counts in low single or double digits, so missions could give players reasons to spend more time on more worlds. missions can do worlds horizon more engaging experiences for a broader audience when the platform expands to the web and mobile, which is expected to happen later this year.
