Disappointment in Facebook’s metaverse
Facebook’s attempt to rebrand its business to focus on the Metaverse has also been completely successful. A recent report by the Washington Examiner noted that Meta’s main Metaverse Horizon world had only 200,000 monthly active users (MAUs) in October.
This is far from the 280,000 user projection that it had to revise after achieving its 500,000 MAU goal. Metaverse interface tool Meta Quest is one of the best selling VR headsets in the market. However, according to the Wall Street Journal, company data shows that more than 50% is unused six months after the purchase.
