Is the Facebook metaverse getting closer to reaching Spain?
Although what we know as the metaverse only exists in science fiction, there are countries that have access to the virtual world of Facebook (some in America).
Thanks to the association that these two companies have carried out, it would not be at all strange that in a very short time access to the Facebook metaverse is enabled in the country .
Observing the current panorama, it could be said that the Facebook metaverse is still far from being possible, why? Because there are very few independent developers, startups and major companies that are working in this interesting virtual world.
With nothing more to add in this regard, Telefónica is expected to provide more details about this partnership in the coming weeks.
