According to CEO Satya Nadella, many Microsoft games are already metaverses.
The metaverse: it’s bullshit. But that’s not stopping all sorts of big players from betting the virtual farm on it. Tim Sweeney is, as far as we can tell, a true believer, and Facebook recently renamed itself to Meta, a deep commitment intended to reflect the growing influence of the metaverse concept on its products. Now Microsoft has shared more about its own plans for the metaverse, which are heavily focused on commercial applications but also includes gaming. « Whenever I think about the metaverse, it sort of comes down to bringing the real world people, places, and things to the digital world, » Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in an interview with Bloomberg. « It’s all about creating more presence, more human connection, giving all the options for people to be able to participate in the communities that they’re most interested in.
