CEO Kristy Rigden emphasized, "We have been faced with a crossroads: we have a truly excellent and kind VR team who were working on a platform which costs us more than it makes, while also having a list of job openings that were looking to be filled on other projects." This highlights the tough decision made to prioritize the team’s stability over the VR platform's viability.
The studio clarified that while general VR support is winding down, it doesn't mean that FuturLab will not support the platform in the future, signifying a potential openness to VR development down the line.
The VR space has faced numerous challenges in recent years, as illustrated by the poor sales of the PlayStation VR 2 and the decision by Sony to pause new headset production. This context sets a backdrop for FuturLab's decision.
