These changes mean that apps and games that were previously unlisted will now appear in the main Quest Store. </p> 374 375 376 377<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Quest App Lab was launched in 2021 and was designed as a secondary platform for distributing apps. However, after three years, Meta is now closing the Quest App Lab while opening the Quest Store to developers who could only previously see their content available through limited channels. </p> 378 379 380 381<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Including App Lab games and apps on the Quest Store means users can find this content far more easily. Previously, you would need to know the exact name of an app or have a URL if you wanted to download it. </p> 382 383 384 385<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The changes follow the recent news that Meta is opening the recently rebranded Quest Store to any headset that runs Meta Horizon OS. The platform, which is now called the Meta Horizon Store, will include an App Lab section, essentially levelling the playing field for third-party app creators. </p> 386 387 388 389<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Meta App Lab Is Changing</h2> 390 391 392 393<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Users who want to experience and enjoy App Lab content from third-party developers can now do so from the Meta Horizon Store. App Lab apps and games now have their own section within the main store. </p> 394 395 396 397<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the moment, there are 100 publicly viewable apps within the store, and itâs not clear how the available content is selected or if and when more will appear. </p> 398 399 400 401<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Up until recently, Meta has included a pop-up warning on App Lab pages. This notification has been replaced by a more subtle disclaimer which appears next to the game or appâs user rating. The disclaimer reads, âThis app may be experimental or still in development.â</p> 402 403 404 405<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once the App Lab is fully closed down and merged with the Meta Horizon Store, the approval criteria will have fewer restrictions. Although apps and games must meet the âbasic technical, content, and privacy requirementsâ, much of the subjectivity around selection will be removed. </p> 406 407 408 409<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ready To Reach a Wider Audience</h2> 410 411 412 413<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Quest Store was recently renamed Meta Horizon Store and will be available to any third-party headset running on the Meta Horizon OS platform. So far, we know that Lenovo and ASUS have headsets in development, but currently, only the Meta Quest range of headsets is using the operating system. </p> 414 415 416 417<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The ongoing changes to App Lab and the Meta Horizon Store will mean that once more users access Quest content on other devices, smaller third-party developers can get their apps and games onto more headsets. </p> 418 419 420 421<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This lets studios publish early access versions of new titles. Any developer can distribute content through the platform provided it meets the technical, content, and privacy requirements, regardless of their studioâs size. </p> 422 423 424 425<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These changes may only be the starting point for Meta. As time passes, the gap between App Lab apps and games and those in the main store could close even more, making the platform more like the Google Play Store.</p> 426 427 428 429 430 431 <div class="columns twelve"> 432 433 434 435 <!-- Go to www.addthis.com/dashboard to customize your tools
