We are shifting our model from two independent surfaces, Store and App Lab, to a single, unified, open storefront. This shift will happen in stages, first by making many App Lab titles available in a dedicated section of the Store. If you are currently developing for the Meta Quest Store or App Lab, no changes are required at this time.
In the future, new titles submitted will go directly to the Store and App Lab will no longer be a separate distribution channel. All titles will need to meet basic technical, content, and privacy requirements to publish to the Store. Titles are reviewed at submission and may be re-reviewed as they scale to more people. Like App Lab today, all titles that meet these requirements will be published.
