Second Life, the popular social MMO, is now available in a public beta for iOS and Android devices. Premium subscribers can access the beta immediately via the App Store and Google Play. Free access for non-subscribers hasn't been announced yet.
While requiring a Premium account limits immediate access for many, this beta release significantly increases the flow of information regarding the mobile version of this long-standing MMO.
For those unfamiliar, Second Life is a pioneering MMO that predates the recent metaverse hype. It emphasizes social interaction over traditional gameplay elements like combat or exploration. Players create avatars and engage in a wide range of activities within the virtual world. Originally launched in 2003, Second Life helped popularize concepts like social gaming and user-generated content.
