It’s another week and so another accidental or maybe purposeful leak comes out from a quest 2 user. Redditor imlife1102 was given access to what seems to be the horizon home feature that was teased back in october of 2021 where your quest friends can join you in your home as their avatar. The reddit user was able to invite a friend into their home and they were able to move around in their space. I found it interesting that we could see their dashboard when they popped in. Nice animation by the way on the pop in. Im life did share that they were not on the public test channel so it was baked into the version 40 update that they recieved. We actually saw a hint of this feature back in the PTC for version 37 called co presence so this seems to be nearly ready for its release. 

To add to this VR code sleuth Samulia also found new strings of code in the recently released PTC for version 41 that looks to hint at creating new horizon profiles attached to your quest accounts. WIth one prompt in the code saying your horizon profile is how you appear and connect with others in VR. We’ll guide you through the steps to get setup. So it seems we might have a new profile process coming soon.

Maybe this is the answer to removing the need for a facebook account to use a quest headset but honestly I’m really not sure but the one positive is that it looks like you’ll be able to more easily change the name that you want to be called in VR according to this string of code here.

What other leaks are coming? Is this just marketing?
