Facebook, which purchased VR company Oculus for $2 billion in 2014, will incorporate BigBox into the Oculus Studios family and work with the studio to continue supporting and growing Population: One.
The social media company also confirmed the entire BigBox VR team will be joining Oculus Studios, but said it’s committed to maintaining the developer’s “nimble, iterative, creative culture.”
“We’re excited to help BigBox VR grow and accelerate their vision for Population: One as a state-of-the-art VR social gaming experience, as well as pursue future projects, with access to the resources and support of Facebook and Oculus Studios, all while maintaining the team’s creativity, disciplined methodology, and commitment to community.”
Virtual reality developer BigBox VR has been acquired by Oculus owner Facebook for an undisclosed fee.
