[Meta Plans Significant Downsizing of Metaverse, Budget May Be Cut by 30%] According to Bloomberg, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to significantly reduce the budget for the metaverse business, with cuts of up to 30%. Related layoffs could begin as early as January next year. This adjustment will primarily affect the Meta Horizon Worlds virtual world and Quest VR devices, with the saved resources redirected to emerging projects such as AI glasses and wearable devices. Although Zuckerberg remains optimistic about the long-term potential of virtual worlds, Reality Labs has incurred losses exceeding $70 billion since 2021. External skepticism about the metaverse strategy persists, and Meta is gradually shifting its focus to AI technology and hardware products.
