The metaverse was trending hard in the latter part of 2021. Facebook’s decision to rebrand as Meta was an essential driver of this attention. Skeptics suspect a lot of hype. But as this article will demonstrate, the metaverse will deliver tangible benefits to individuals and businesses, opening new avenues to health, happiness and economic opportunity.

The company explained that Activision would give it “building blocks for the metaverse.”
