How do I publish a world in Horizon Worlds?

In order to publish a world, you’ll need to add a name, description and thumbnail photo. These details help people find your world and decide if they’d like to visit it and explore.

To publish a world:

  1. Make sure you’re in Build Mode in the world you’d like to publish.
  2. Open your Creator Menu.
  3. Tap the Publish icon in the dock to go to the Publish section.
  4. Add world details, including a name, description and thumbnail.
  5. Tap Publish.

The status will show the publish date once the world is published.

To unpublish a world:

  1. Go to the Publish section of your Creator Menu.
  2. Tap Publish Updates to expand the dropdown.
  3. Tap Unpublish.
  4. Tap [Arrow Icon] next.

Once a world is published, it will appear in the Places section of your Personal Menu and anyone in Horizon Worlds will be able to search for and go to it.

You can also continue building in a world even after it’s been published without affecting the experience of anyone who’s currently in your world.

To update a published world:

  1. Go to the Publish section of your Creator Menu.
  2. Tap the Next icon, then tap Publish Updates.

Anyone who’s currently in your world will need to leave and come back in order to see the updates.
