Meta is shifting focus away from the metaverse and virtual reality, discontinuing Meta Horizon Workrooms and ending sales of Meta Quest headsets to businesses. The company is now prioritising AI, as demand for VR headsets, including Apple’s Vision Pro, has decreased.

Meta is retreating from its metaverse ambitions after a disappointing virtual reality check. The company's Reality Labs division reported a $4.2 billion loss in the first quarter of 2025. Meta is now discontinuing sales of Meta Quest headsets to businesses and ending its Meta Horizon Workrooms service. This pivot signifies a shift towards AI, as Meta faces weakened demand for VR headsets.
