Meta Platforms has announced layoffs within its Reality Labs division as part of ongoing restructuring efforts. The job cuts impact teams at Oculus Studios, Meta’s internal game development arm for the Quest virtual reality headsets, including employees working on VR titles like Supernatural, a fitness game.
A Meta spokesperson stated that these changes are intended to improve efficiency within Studios, focusing on the development of future mixed-reality experiences for its expanding audience.
As of December 31, 2024, Meta’s global workforce stood at 74,067 employees. Despite incurring a $5 billion loss in the fourth quarter within Reality Labs, CEO Mark Zuckerberg remains optimistic about Meta’s long-term investment in augmented and virtual reality technologies.
