The Metaverse Entry of Walmart

On Monday, American retail giant Walmart announced the launch of "Walmart Land" and "Walmart's Universe of Play" on the Roblox metaverse game platform.

A physics-defying Ferris wheel, an avatar-friendly virtual store, and unlockable tokens and badges that can be acquired through a variety of competitions and games are all said to be features of Walmart Land. The best toys of the year will be featured in Walmart's Universe of Play, claims the giant retailer. The Roblox community can do difficult tasks to build a unique trophy case, find hidden codes, and more, or they can explore numerous toy worlds to collect money for great virtual goods.

We're focusing on creating fun new experiences for children as a result, something we're already doing in their neighbourhoods and, more lately, the virtual worlds where they play, he said.

Online gaming hub Roblox has gained a lot of popularity, especially among Generation Z. As of June 30, Roblox had 12 million creators, 32 million experiences, 11.3 billion hours of engagement, and 52.2 million daily active users, according to the company's website.

Other well-known companies and celebrities have used Roblox for their metaverse endeavours. The electronics giant Samsung announced in July that Samsung Space Tycoon would be coming to Roblox. Reality TV star Paris Hilton created Paris World, a virtual island, on Roblox in December of last year. She performed an electronic act there on New Year's Eve.

Experts from the Bank of England projected that cryptoassets would be important in the metaverse in August. Goldman Sachs estimated earlier this year that the metaverse may have a $8 trillion potential. According to a forecast by McKinsey and Company, the metaverse would earn $5 trillion by 2030. Citi estimates that by 2030, the metaverse economy will be worth between $8 trillion and $13 trillion.
