In accordance with Mark Zuckerberg, the metaverse is “the next evolution of social connection”, where users will be able to “navigate in 3D spaces, live with other people and learn from them”. The concept is still in the very early stages of construction, but Microsoft does not want to be left behind and they also plan to take advantage of this space for gaming.
Today, the signature of Redmond announced its own version of the metaverse, which will include a virtual version of Microsoft Teams that it will work with different VR and AR. Eventually, this will also expand into Xbox, since the Company CEO, Satya Nadella, confirmed that over time, these spaces will evolve into “fully 3D worlds.”
“You can expect us to do video game stuff. If you think of Halo as a game, it is also a metaverse. Minecraft is a metaverse, and Flight Sim. In a sense, they are currently 2D, but the thing is, now you can take them to 3D worlds, and we plan to do that. “
For now that’s all we know to date, and we don’t know how much he’s planning. Microsoft with all this. Previously Minecraft already experimented a bit with virtual reality, and Microsoft Flight Simulator has support for VR on PC, but it seems that the company of Redmond it has much bigger ambitions.
Editor’s note: It will certainly be interesting to know how the metaverse will be used for gaming. Maybe this is really going to be the future of video games, or maybe it will become another failed concept, but for now time is the only one capable of giving us these answers.
