"There are one billion avatars. We were able to officially disclose and celebrate that tremendous achievement yesterday. Across our technologies, more than one billion avatars have been created. "That's a billion times people have reimagined how they show up online — like wearing a suit and tie to meetings while wearing pyjamas in real life," the business said in a blog post.

PUMA has collaborated with the firm to deliver seven costumes to the Meta Avatars Store.  Beginning this month, users will be able to select from a broader selection of body shape possibilities, including two curvier body forms, as well as clothing from prominent fashion, sports, and lifestyle companies such as Madhappy, the NBA, Prada, and Thom Browne. The sports suits will be available beginning May 1.
