Meta announced that it has lowered the minimum age requirement for the Quest 2/3 VR headset, saying that starting later this year, children 10 and older will be able to create their own accounts and use Meta’s VR headset.
Meta says the child account created remains under parental control, allowing them to control which games and apps they download from the app store and to restrict their continued use of their account at any time.
Meta also makes it clear that it won’t push ads to kids’ accounts, but will recommend some age-appropriate apps.
Meta says Horizon Worlds will not be open to pre-pubescent kids, which is still 13+ in the U.S. and Canada; 18+ in Europe.
