Meta Platforms Inc. has laid off an unknown number of employees in its Reality Labs division, a company spokesperson confirmed to The Verge on Thursday.
The layoffs mostly pertained to teams in Oculus Studios, Meta's games division for Quest headsets, but also some employees within the company's hardware efforts, according to the outlet. "Some teams within Oculus Studios are undergoing shifts in structure and roles that have impacted team size. These changes are meant to help Studios work more efficiently on future mixed reality experiences for our growing audience, while still delivering great content for people today," Meta's spokesperson Tracy Clayton said, while refusing to address the cuts outside of Oculus Studios.
One of the titles affected by cuts is the VR fitness game, Supernatural, which Meta acquired for $400 million and managed to defend from a government antitrust lawsuit.
