Meta Horizon Worlds v120 is here! This week, we’re rolling out quests and rewards to everyone, adding a new quick actions menu to Pause, and fixing a number of bugs impacting world builders and editors.

Achievement Unlocked: Complete Quests and Earn Exclusive Rewards

The time has finally come: Now everyone in Worlds can earn exclusive rewards for their avatar by completing quests. In the Worlds Menu, you’ll now see the “quests” icon, which opens up a new panel showing quests and the rewards they unlock. Get started by simply traveling to any world to unlock a new heart emote. Claim rewards that you’ve unlocked from the quest panel and show them off to your friends. New quests will be added on a regular basis, along with new rewards. Keep checking the quest list—the more you play, the more you unlock!

Press Pause: Adding New Quick Actions Menu

We recently rolled out an improved version of pause, so it’s never been easier to take a break before jumping back in on the fun. We’re now adding a quick actions menu so you can quickly connect with someone nearby, mute or unmute people around you, and more. Just press pause and hover over someone’s name tag or avatar. You’ll be able to choose from a list of actions based on how well you know someone. For example, if you just met someone, you’ll be able to mute, block, or follow them. If you hover over the name tag of someone you’ve already muted, you’ll be able to unmute, block, or report them. And no matter what’s happening, you can press pause to take a breather and learn about what to do next.

Quality of Life Improvements

General

You can now report bugs within Worlds by pressing the “Home Button” on the right controller four times in quick succession. This is in addition to pressing and holding AB/XY. Both of these actions will open up the same menu to submit the bug.
In order to make necessary quality improvements, we’re temporarily disabling photo card access from the photo gallery. People will still have access to photo cards from the mirror in Welcome Island.
