Meta has launched a $50m Meta Horizon Creator Fund to support innovation on its Meta Horizon platform, with a particular focus on the Meta Horizon Worlds desktop editor.
It is also introducing a Mobile Genre Showdown competition, open to all members of the Meta Horizon Creator Program, with $1m in prize money up for grabs and additional bonus incentives.
Meta is introducing new creator monetisation options, including the ability to earn monthly bonuses, sell digital items and compete in creator competitions for cash prizes.
As part of the push, Meta is expanding the Meta Horizon Creator Program to include more countries.
The company is also offering advanced creator tools on Meta Horizon Worlds, including TypeScript support for complex game logic, custom model imports and optimisation tools.
Users in the US will also be able to access Gen-AI features such as sound effects, ambient audio generation and TypeScript generation.
