Meta Cuts Reality Labs Amid Metaverse Retreat

Meta reportedly laid off roughly 1,500 Reality Labs employees, about 10% of the unit, and shut several VR game studios this week, according to The Wall Street Journal and other outlets. The company — which has sunk about $73 billion into Reality Labs — is deprioritizing the metaverse and winding down products like Workrooms while shifting focus toward AI. The moves mark a major strategic retreat from VR.
