The Fender Stratosphere Horizon World is a guitar-shaped island floating high in the stratosphere and has a first unique co-play audio experience to create original music riffs.
Visitors take on a virtual scavenger hunt, finding chords throughout the Stratoverse and bringing them together to create unique combinations of music.
While winning more races, players can customize their virtual ride for the track and unlock a special EV MINI model. Customizing MINI, changing its colors, and adding bonnet stripes and a contrast roof will add a lot of fun. Players can try different racing suits and unlock other MINI vehicles to top the leaderboard and compete with friends.
To experience the Worlds, one must search MINIverse or Stratoverse in Meta Horizon Worlds. There will be connecting doors to both brand worlds in the Meta Horizon Worlds Pavilion demos at Meta Beach. Plus, there will be AR effects accessed through QR codes that create unique ways to sample each world.
