Meta has reversed course on Supernatural, the popular VR fitness app it effectively killed months ago. The company announced today it will resume development and content updates for the Quest title.

Meta had dealt a major blow to Supernatural in earlier layoffs, declaring the game would receive no further updates. The decision sparked outrage among the game's dedicated player base, who relied on the app for guided workouts and fitness tracking in virtual reality. Today's announcement marks a significant reversal. Meta confirmed in a community post that Supernatural will continue receiving new content and ongoing support. The exact scope of future updates remains unclear, but the move signals the company's willingness to reconsider decisions that alienated its VR fitness community. Supernaturaljoins a growing list of VR titles that have faced uncertainty as Meta restructured its VR division. The reversal offers hope to other VR communities concerned about the platform's future commitments.
