Overview

  • Meta has laid off over 100 employees in its Reality Labs division, focusing on Oculus Studios and VR content development.
  • The restructuring affects teams working on the Supernatural fitness app, which will now offer fewer weekly workouts but with expanded difficulty options.
  • The layoffs are part of Meta's ongoing cost-cutting measures after Reality Labs posted a $4.97 billion loss in Q4 2024 against $1.1 billion in revenue.
  • Impacted employees are eligible to apply for other roles within Meta, as the company continues to invest in mixed reality experiences.
  • This move follows broader performance-based layoffs earlier in 2025, as Meta faces financial pressures and rising competition in the mixed reality market.
