]]> Meta now announced that the world’s largest multiplayer online creative game-sharing platform “Roblox” will support the Meta Quest VR series headset.

The game will be available in Beta for the Quest 2 and Quest Pro models in the coming weeks.

Meta said, “The public beta is a great opportunity for the Roblox developer community to optimize Quest’s existing games and develop new games for VR while gathering input and feedback from the Quest community.”

Roblox, a game compatible with virtual worlds, casual games, and self-built content, is currently available on iOS, Android, PC, and Xbox for all users thirteen and up.

Most of the creations in this game are user-built, ranging from FPS and RPGs to racing and puzzle solving, all of which are participated in and completed by the player’s control of these little people made up of cylinders and cube shapes. In the game, players can also develop games in a variety of formats and categories.

The Meta Quest VR series is Meta’s (formerly Facebook’s) mainstream VR headset with excellent VR performance and is currently the mainstream product in the VR market.

]]> Walmart is reportedly moving into the metaverse with the launch of two experiences on its online gaming platform Roblox. Walmart’s first foray into the world of VR brings a blimp that drops toys, a music festival with a collection of popular artists, some games and virtual merchandise, plus two other experiences, Walmart Land and Universe of Play. It’s clear that Walmart is looking for new ways to reach shoppers after the pandemic changed consumer shopping habits and the way consumers interact with social media, apps and gaming sites, which is one of the reasons why Walmart is adjusting its strategy.

Walmart is already doing a big direct carry on TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube. Not only that, Walmart has partnered with Meredith, Parents, and Better Homes & Gardens to create vegan recipes, and it has launched an AR tool on Pinterest to help consumers pick furniture and decor.

William White, Walmart’s chief marketing officer, said Walmart is considering entering the meta-universe and will continue to go deeper in the future, and Roblox is just the experimental field.

He explained that the newly designed metaverse experience takes the next generation of shoppers into account, especially Generation Z, which is about 25 years old or younger.

Walmart hopes to learn something new from the partnership. White admitted that Walmart is not making money on the meta-universe side now, but will in the future.

At the beginning of the year, Walmart had applied for metaverse-related trademarks, some of which implied that Walmart wanted to make and sell virtual goods, offer virtual currency to users, and also involve NFT.

Roblox currently has a market cap of about $21.2 billion, but shares have fallen 60% this year. As the number of Roblox users grows, more and more retailers and brands are entering.
