Meta Scales Back Metaverse Push As Company Shifts Focus To AI
Published on March 20, 2026.
The company is shifting its focus towards the creation of immersive virtual worlds, with a focus on AI rather than immersive experiences. The company has laid off about 10 percent of its employees in its metaverse-focused division and announced that its flagship virtual world app, Horizon Worlds, will no longer support new virtual-reality applications. The move reflects a broader shift by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who has prioritised AI development over immersive experiences and plans to spend at least $115 billion on artificial intelligence infrastructure this year.
