Correction: Meta Did Not Publish Active User Figures for VR Fitness App ‘Supernatural’
Correction (January 9th, 2025 – 5:31PM ET): A previous version of this article reported that Meta had revealed that Meta’s VR fitness app Supernatural had reached 110,000 active users. This report was incorrect.
Meta reached out to inform Road to VR that the “110,000 people” figure mentioned in this blog post was not the active user numbers for the Supernatural app, but actually a count of the Official Supernatural Community on Facebook. Meta updated the language in its blog post to prevent any further confusion.
As such, we have archived the original version of this report and removed it from the front (page by setting its publishing date back to 2015) but this correction will remain here for posterity.
