There is already a metaverse in games to some extent. But — and there is a big but — it's unsophisticated. Some metaverse social components may already be present in video games. Consider Fortnite, an online shooting game that can be played on PCs, video game consoles, and mobile devices. The average Fortnite user spends hundreds of hours in the game with their avatar, battling and engaging with other players' avatars. Players may also earn virtual cash, which can be used to purchase clothing and other items to personalize their avatars.
