What is the metaverse? Will the metaverse change gaming and why is everyone interested in it now? Since Facebook changed its name to Meta the concept of the metaverse has been increasingly widespread and discussed. Now video game developers and publishers are announcing new ways the metaverse can be integrated into video games.
