Meta's popular VR fitness game Supernatural is far from dead. Just months after the company announced it would cease new content updates, the game is being spun off into an independent entity called Supernatural Health.
This move comes as a relief to its devoted community, which had been left frustrated when Meta effectively shelved the title amid broader layoffs at its Reality Labs division. The new standalone company will take over development and operations, promising to continue delivering fresh workouts and features.
Supernatural had built a loyal following among Quest users who used it for daily exercise routines. The spin-off ensures that the app won't vanish, as many feared, and may even allow for more focused innovation outside of Meta's corporate structure.
"The community is ecstatic," said one long-time user. "We thought we'd lost our favorite workout platform for good."
Details on funding and leadership for Supernatural Health have not been fully disclosed, but the move signals that even as Meta pivots toward wearables, it recognizes the value of standalone VR fitness experiences.
