The company’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, recently described the Metaverse as “just a small part of what we do.” Google Trends data shows that searches for the term “metaverse” have decreased by 80% over the past year.

Reality Labs, the division behind the Meta Quest virtual reality headsets, ended 2022 with an operating loss of $13.7 billion.
