Will the Metaverse project<\/a><\/em><\/strong> succeed in making a comeback<\/strong>? Despite massive investments, the project has yet to achieve the desired success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Metaverse initiatives<\/strong> that Meta<\/strong> has been striving to build with high hopes appear to be at a critical turning point<\/strong> this year. Projects developed under the Reality Labs<\/strong> division have not yet achieved the expected commercial success<\/strong>, despite years of heavy investment<\/strong>. According to Meta\u2019s CTO, Andrew Bosworth<\/strong>, 2025<\/strong> could be the year that determines the future of the Metaverse<\/strong>. If Horizon Worlds<\/strong> and the Quest series<\/strong> fail to make a significant breakthrough<\/strong> this year, Meta\u2019s Metaverse investments<\/strong> could go down in history as a legendary failure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will the Metaverse Project Succeed in Making a Comeback?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bosworth\u2019s internal company communications highlight the uncertainty<\/strong> surrounding the future of Reality Labs<\/strong>. While Meta<\/strong> continues to invest in virtual and augmented reality<\/strong>, the success of Horizon Worlds\u2019 mobile version<\/strong> is particularly crucial. The company aims to strengthen its position in the market by launching a series of AI-powered wearable technology products<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg<\/strong> recently stated that this year will be extremely intense and emphasized the importance of maintaining leadership, especially in areas like smart glasses<\/strong>. Bosworth also noted that Reality Labs<\/strong> now has its best-ever product portfolio<\/strong> and that rather than focusing on new ideas, it is crucial to perfect existing projects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, despite the huge investments<\/strong> made in the Metaverse<\/strong>, Meta<\/strong> has struggled to attract the expected user base<\/strong>. Since 2020<\/strong>, Reality Labs<\/strong> has accumulated losses exceeding $60 billion<\/strong>. As a result, if Horizon Worlds\u2019 mobile version<\/strong> fails, Meta\u2019s Metaverse vision<\/strong> could come to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shift in Focus: Smart Glasses and AI Over Metaverse?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently, products such as Ray-Ban smart glasses<\/strong> and AI projects<\/strong> have garnered more attention than Metaverse ventures<\/strong>. If Horizon Worlds<\/strong> and the Quest series<\/strong> fail to gain traction, it is highly likely that Meta<\/strong> will reduce its Metaverse investments<\/strong> and shift its focus to other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid this internal uncertainty<\/strong>, by the end of the year, Meta<\/strong> will have to decide whether to continue with the Metaverse<\/strong> or shelve<\/strong> these projects and move toward different markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
