According to the report, the potential cuts will affect not only VR-related projects but may also include another wave of staff reductions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"398\" data-end=\"637\">Sources note that Meta\u2019s likely decision reflects the market\u2019s broader fatigue with virtual-world concepts. The Horizon Worlds platform has failed to achieve mass adoption, and the company\u2019s VR headset sales have been weaker than expected.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"827\">Since the high-profile rebranding in 2021, Meta\u2019s metaverse projects have generated multi-billion-dollar quarterly losses, drawing increasingly sharp criticism from analysts and investors.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"829\" data-end=\"1061\">Despite this, other areas of the company \u2014 including AI initiatives and smart glasses \u2014 appear far more promising.
