What does the Moderate comfort rating mean?
It is the Meta Horizon Store's own label, read from the Contractors store page on 2026-09-05. Meta's comfort scale runs Comfortable, Moderate or Intense. The label describes the movement system rather than the whole experience, which is why this page pairs it with what players report.
For most people the worst of it fades within 10 to 20 minutes of taking the headset off; the full timeline and what speeds it up are covered in how long VR sickness lasts. Building tolerance deliberately is its own guide.
