Despite the bear market, forecasts indicate that the metaverse could reach $5 trillion by 2030. However, there are still many obstacles on the way to reaching those levels.
An analysis by BeInCrypto exposed that the metaverse has taken over almost every sector, with modern games now becoming entire universes. Epic Games and Roblox are two big names that got in early and are already benefiting greatly from their metaverse efforts.
