Let me Google that for you...
>A metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection. In futurism and science fiction, it is often described as a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets.
The term was coined by Neal Stephenson in Snow Crash, so if you haven't read that yet, you should.
- GauntletWizard 5y agoWhat part of Fortnite doesn't fit that definition? It's definitely focused on Social Connection - It's multiplayer only, and while you can drop solo, all of the features are around interacting with your friends or bragging to your opponents. It is not just one 3d world, there are many game modes that are accessible through a virtual lobby. Is it lacking VR integration? It's already playable on many VR headsets as a cinema experience, but that is truthfully no the primary experience. It seems only a matter of time, though, as Epic has already teased and announced a number of VR projects and tooling for their engine.
