Meta is closing 3 VR studios and laying off roughly 10% of Reality Labs as it shifts focus from the metaverse to AI wearables, it’s next sure-fire, can’t-miss idea

Meta has decided to shut down three of its VR studios—Armature Studios, Sanzaru Games, and Twisted Pixel—as part of a broader shake-up within its Reality Labs division. This move comes alongside layoffs affecting about 10 percent of the Reality Labs workforce, signaling a significant pivot in the company’s strategy. After placing heavy bets on the metaverse, Meta is now turning its attention to AI-powered wearables, hoping to find its next big breakthrough in that space. The closures mark the end of a chapter for teams that contributed to Meta’s VR ambitions, but the company seems convinced this shift toward AI wearables is where the future lies.
