Mark Zuckerberg hopes Facebook will become a metaverse company. In July 2021, Zuckerberg told The Verge, “We will effectively transition from people seeing us as primarily being a social media company to being a metaverse company.” Facebook and the metaverseĪs a non-competitive platform based on digital interaction, Facebook seems like a prime candidate for expansion into some sort of metaverse concept, and Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has expressed great interest in the idea in recent years. Theoretically, in the same way we currently browse countless websites made by different companies on the same internet, the metaverse will have digital spaces with different owners all connected by a new kind of multidimensional interweb. Outside concerts, limited-time events have also allowed players to watch full-length Christopher Nolan movies while in control of digital avatars surrounded by equally digital recreations of real-world friends.Ī key factor about the metaverse, though, is that typically not everything in the metaverse is made by a single company. Epic Games’ Fortnite, and company CEO Tim Sweeney, have emerged as major metaverse figureheads, as the company’s free-to-play battle royale game has also been the site of concerts from the likes of Travis Scott and Ariana Grande. Generally speaking, products that qualify as a metaverse involve 3D avatars participating in non-competitive activities like watching movies, attending concerts, or shopping for digital goodies with friends. Habbo was one of the earliest examples of what a metaverse concept might look like.
