Mobile Compatibility Review
  • It is not a submission requirement for the world to be reviewed for mobile compatibility, or for the world to meet Playable or Optimized standards, but judging decisions will be made by reviewing worlds across VR and mobile devices.
  • Upon submission, worlds will automatically be sent to the mobile compatibility review team, and may be tagged as Playable, Optimized or Unsupported as per the mobile compatibility requirements.
  • After judging concludes and the winners have been announced creators may choose to update their worlds and resubmit for compatibility review via the standard process on Discord.
