Overview
The Meta Horizon Creator Program (MHCP) is Meta's monetization and support layer for people building interactive worlds in Meta Horizon Worlds. Members turn their creativity into a business with access to a creator community, mentorship, tailored programming, and the $50M Creator Fund (announced Feb 20, 2025). Creators are eligible to earn monthly bonuses that reward growing their worlds plus revenue from selling digital goods (in-world purchases); bonuses are tied to a world's contribution across time spent, retention, and in-world purchases, and are paid to creators in full without hardware platform fees. The program is open to all creators 18 or older. Getting started takes about three minutes: join with a Meta account, download the Worlds Desktop Editor, learn and build, then publish and earn as people engage with your world on mobile. Meta is heavily pushing mobile reach to grow the audience for these worlds.
💡 Insider tip
Build for mobile — Meta is explicitly investing in mobile and MR worlds to reach people who don't own a Quest, and earnings are tied to time spent, retention, and in-world purchases. Stand up an in-world item economy (cosmetics, power-ups) early so you can stack the in-world-purchases bonus on top of engagement bonuses, and watch for the recurring creator competitions for extra cash prizes.
