Meta has transformed its VR fitness game Supernatural into an independent company called Supernatural Health, reversing course after earlier announcing the game would stop receiving new content.

The spinoff marks a reversal from Meta's earlier decision to discontinue updates to the fitness title following company-wide layoffs. The move came after user protests against the app's planned abandonment. SupernaturalHealth will operate as a standalone entity, allowing the game to continue development outside of Meta's direct control. The company had previously indicated the game would enter maintenance mode with no new features planned. In other Meta news: Internal documents reveal Meta is considering tiered pricing for "Hatch," its planned AI agent tool similar to OpenClaw. The premium subscription could cost up to $200 per month, positioning the tool as an enterprise-level offering. Meanwhile, Meta is disputing Australia's proposed tax on domestic revenue for tech giants that don't sign news licensing deals, arguing the measure violates the US-Australia Free Trade Agreement.
