Meta says it funded over 100 VR & mixed reality titles that shipped in 2024, as well as over 200 currently in “active production”. […] These figures were revealed today at GDC 2025 by Meta’s Director of Games Chris Pruett, during a talk where he also claimed that opening the store and heavily pushing Horizon Worlds did not meaningfully affect store spending, and revealed that monthly headset usage increased 30% in 2024.
Wild to think they’ve spent $100B on VR and for tons of people it’s probably still a “Beat Saber” machine. I mean, respect to Beat Saber.
Speaking of… Aside from socializing, rhythm, exercise, and sports seem like a reasonable niche market for VR. The Wii sure showed it was possible since it uses the same principles for the controls.
