Horizon Worlds: 5 Million DAU by 2027?
Meta has invested billions in its metaverse vision, with Horizon Worlds being the primary social platform. This prediction asks if the platform will average 5 million daily active users (DAU) by the end of 2027.
The VR Headset Barrier
The slight 'No' majority is based on hardware adoption. While Meta's Quest 3 and 4 headsets are popular, the total install base of VR headsets capable of running Horizon Worlds is still limited. Furthermore, user retention rates in Horizon Worlds have been notoriously low. Achieving 5 million *daily* users requires both significant software quality improvement and a much larger, more engaged VR hardware user base than currently exists.
