【科技巨头战略调整 Meta关闭三家VR工作室 元宇宙业务收缩】

据外媒报道,母公司Meta近期关闭了旗下三家虚拟现实(VR)游戏工作室——Armature、Sanzaru及Twisted Pixel,并宣布热门VR健身应用《Supernatural》将停止内容更新。此次调整是Meta上月宣布“将部分投资从元宇宙领域转向可穿戴设备”战略的一部分。

受影响的团队曾开发多款知名VR作品:Twisted Pixel于去年11月推出《漫威死侍VR》,Sanzaru以《阿斯加德之怒》系列闻名,Armature则在2021年将《生化危机4》引入Quest平台。Meta发言人表示,此举释放的资源将用于支持今年可穿戴设备业务的增长。

尽管内部备忘录强调“不意味着放弃游戏业务”,并称将加大对第三方开发者的投入,但连续动作已引发行业对其VR生态承诺的质疑。自2024年发布Quest 3S后,Meta未再公布新款VR头显,上月还暂停了与华硕、联想合作开发Horizon OS头显的计划。

目前《Supernatural》应用仍可正常使用,但已停止内容更新。分析认为,Meta正将重心从自研内容转向硬件与生态合作,VR行业或将进入新一轮调整期。

作为元宇宙业务调整的一部分,Meta已关闭旗下三家VR工作室。该公司裁撤了Armature、Sanzaru和Twisted Pixel团队,VR健身应用《Supernatural》也将停止内容更新。

在近期以元宇宙业务为核心的裁员潮中,Meta旗下多家VR工作室受到影响。该公司已关闭包括Armature、Sanzaru和Twisted Pixel在内的三家VR工作室,同时VR健身应用《Supernatural》将不再获得内容更新。

去年11月推出《漫威死侍VR》的Twisted Pixel工作室,以及曾开发《阿斯加德之怒》的Sanzaru工作室员工,已在社交媒体上证实关闭消息。据彭博社报道,2021年将《生化危机4》引入Quest平台的Armature工作室同样被裁撤,而广受欢迎的VR健身应用《Supernatural》也将停止更新。

Meta在Facebook平台发布公告称:"由于工作室近期组织架构调整,《Supernatural》即日起将不再提供新内容或功能更新。"该应用"将继续为现有用户保持运营状态"。

Meta发言人向Engadget确认了关闭决定:"我们上月已声明正将部分投资从元宇宙领域转向可穿戴设备,此次调整是该计划的一部分,节省的资金将用于支持今年可穿戴业务的增长。"

此举引发外界对Meta持续建设VR生态承诺的质疑。自2024年推出Quest 3S后,该公司再未发布新款VR头显,上月还"暂停"了与华硕、联想合作开发Horizon OS头显的计划,如今又收缩内部游戏开发业务。

Meta在内部至少仍宣称保持对行业的支持。彭博社获得的备忘录显示,Oculus Studios总监塔玛拉·夏曼纳写道:"这些调整不意味着我们将远离游戏领域,而是将投资重心转向第三方开发者与合作伙伴,以确保业务的长期可持续性。"

Meta has closed three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts
The company has axed Armature, Sanzaru and Twisted Pixel; Supernatural won't be getting any new content.
Several of Meta's VR studios have been affected by the company's metaverse-focused layoffs. The company has shuttered three of its VR studios, including Armature, Sanzaru and Twisted Pixel. VR fitness app Supernatural will no longer be updated with fresh content.
Employees at Twisted Pixel, which released Marvel's Deadpool VR in November, and Sanzaru, known for Asgard's Wrath, posted on social media about the closures. Bloomberg reported that Armature, which brought Resident Evil 4 to Quest back in 2021 has also closed and that the popular VR fitness app Supernatural will no longer get updates.
“Due to recent organizational changes to our Studio, Supernatural will no longer receive new content or feature updates starting today,” the company wrote in an update on Facebook. The app “will remain active” for existing users.
A spokesperson for Meta confirmed the closures. "We said last month that we were shifting some of our investment from Metaverse toward Wearables," the spokesperson said in a statement to Engadget. "This is part of that effort, and we plan to reinvest the savings to support the growth of wearables this year."
The cuts raise questions about Meta's commitment to supporting a VR ecosystem it has invested heavily in. The company hasn't announced any new VR headsets since the Quest 3S in 2024, and last month it "paused" planned Horizon OS headsets from Asus and Lenovo. Now, it's also pulling back on in-house game development too.
Meta is claiming, internally at least, that it remains committed to supporting the industry. “These changes do not mean we are moving away from video games,” Oculus Studios director Tamara Sciamanna wrote in a memo reported by Bloomberg. "With this change we are shifting our investment to focus on our third-party developers and partners to ensure long-term sustainability.”
