Time to make a battle royale! Or was it UGC builder? MOBA? Multiplayer looter shooter? Deck builder?

PlayStation Home was ahead of its timeโ€”a persistent virtual world where players could socialize, customize their spaces, and build community. Like Second Life, it showed the future metaverses and UGC platforms the power of blending gaming and social connection in a shared digital space

Still playing #DeathStranding and I'm still reeling from the experience. As someone who's passionate about social games, I wish more devs would create multiplayer moments that foster connection & community, not just PvP. Imagine meeting your fellow porters in the world of DS!

Just wrapped up an amazing #XRCC conference! Loved visiting Germany, exploring interesting sites, and meeting so many talented devs - it felt like visiting family and friends! My highlight was our team giving out awards for the VR and Horizon World tracks.

Thanks XRCC team!

The intersection of UGC and platform transparency is where the magic happens! Fortnite's UEFN discovery insights and
Meta Quest's Store discovery process are just the beginning.

What other innovations can we expect to see in this space?

Building a game on Horizon Worlds with #typescript?

One of the coolest things is you can create interactive experiences that work across both VR and mobile devices.

Competition is live!
