Meta Discreetly Launches 'Horizon Worlds' Premium Digital Currency in the US, UK, and Canada - Road to VR
Meta Quietly Rolls Out ‘Horizon Worlds’ Premium Digital Currency in US, UK and Canada
Meta has introduced Meta Credits, a premium digital currency in its social VR platform, Horizon Worlds, for users in the US, UK, and Canada. Similar to Robux in Roblox and Tokens in Rec Room, Meta Credits allow users to purchase digital goods such as avatar outfits and access keys. However, unlike Quest Cash, they can't be used to buy hardware or accessories and are confined to Horizon Worlds. While this marks a significant development, it's not the full launch of the Horizon Worlds economy, as Meta has been experimenting with monetization since 2022. Meta Credits come in various packages, and purchases for users aged 10-12 require parental approval. Currently, they are exclusive to the US, UK, and Canada, ruling out other regions for now.
