Meta conducts layoffs in Oculus Studios, impacting VR exercise app Supernatural

Meta has announced mass layoffs in its Reality Labs division, affecting teams within Oculus Studios responsible for developing apps like Supernatural for its Quest headsets. The cuts aim to streamline operations and reduce costs, which have been a major drain on the company since rebranding from Facebook. Layoffs are part of broader restructuring efforts to focus resources on future mixed reality experiences while preserving current content offerings. Employees will retain job opportunities within the company, though some key features for apps like Supernatural may be impacted, including reduced workout frequency and expanded skill levels.
