[IMPORTANT] Discovery Surface Refresh Update

Hi MHCP creators! 

As you know, we have been rolling out updated designs to improve user engagement and discovery. We’re sure you’ve seen the changes in Feed, Horizon Central, and Travel. The purpose of these design changes is to make content more discoverable and ensure that consumers see content they will continue to enjoy and engage with. These designs utilize 3 asset sizes: portrait (9:16), landscape (16:9), and square (1:1).

Providing high-quality portrait, landscape, and square images help ensure that your worlds are eligible to be featured in available discovery placements, and high quality images can improve visits and time spent up to 40%. Because of this, beginning the week of October 20th, we will be making the (9:16), (1:1) and (16:9) assets required when worlds go through the publish flow. This will impact new worlds when published, and existing worlds when updated and republished.

You can find best practices and creative guidance in the worlds preview image documentation here.
