On June 4, 2026, it was reported that Meta's metaverse division, Reality Labs, has undergone a personnel adjustment. Gabriel Aul, the former head of the metaverse product group, retired in February this year, and his position has been taken over by Saxs Persson, a former executive at Epic Games. Aul briefly remained as an advisor before leaving Meta entirely last month. This adjustment comes amid Meta's scaling back of metaverse projects and increased investment in AI.
