Hey everyone! Nuked here, ready to talk about Meta’s new quests. It looks like Meta’s Horizon Worlds VR social network is getting some exciting new features.

With the new quests, you can complete tasks in a given world to earn rewards like avatar clothing. Right now, these quests are being tested in an experience called Giant Mini Paddle Golf, which is set in a mini golf course where you use a paddle to whack a ball towards each hole. You can access the Quests screen from an icon that will show up on the card with your profile picture, and when you complete those quests, you’ll get a special prize.

These quests could be used in other experiences and offer themed rewards to match. And while I’m sure there will be some amazing stuff made available, I’m also worried about big brands creating worlds, quests, and special items to help promote themselves.

The quests could also help Meta keep Quest headset users engaged, as many of the experiences featured for me in Horizon Worlds show playercounts in the single or low double digits. Quests could give players reasons to spend more time in more worlds. Plus, when Horizon Worlds expands to web and mobile (which is expected to happen this year), the quests could make it more interesting to a wider audience.

If you don’t have the quests yet, Meta says it plans to roll them out to more people over time. In the meantime, why not visit one of Horizon’s comedy clubs?
