Meta Platforms has announced layoffs affecting over 100 employees in its Reality Labs division, particularly within Oculus Studios and its VR content sectors. This restructuring aligns with a broader industry trend of job reductions, as Meta emphasizes performance and efficiency throughout its workforce. Notably, the cuts impact teams behind the VR fitness app Supernatural, which Meta acquired for $400 million. Company spokespersons confirmed that while this was a difficult decision, it aims to enhance future mixed reality product developments and continues the narrative of Meta striving for a performance-driven culture initiated by CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
"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."
"We're deeply saddened to share that these changes have resulted in the loss of some of our incredibly talented team members. Their contributions have been instrumental in shaping our journey and yours, and their absence will be deeply felt."
