Meta Shuts Down Supernatural VR Fitness

Meta announced in January 2026 that it is shutting down Supernatural, the VR fitness app it acquired, and laid off staff across Reality Labs including about 1,500 employees. The app will remain available as a frozen snapshot with no new workouts, raising user concerns about expiring music licenses and lost community benefits. The move underscores Meta's shift away from some VR investments as it prioritizes AI and drew renewed FTC antitrust criticism.
