The metaverse is the talk of the town with several brands jumping into the ecosystem. Metaverse made the headlines when it rebranded itself as Meta from Facebook almost a year ago. The reason big brands enter the metaverse shows the potential of the rising technology.
Walmart Dives into Metaverse
Walmart made its Metaverse debut by releasing two new Roblox games targeted at its younger clients. Retail giant Walmart Land and Walmart’s Universe of Play, which will introduce Gen Z children to the world of retail. While providing them with interactive entertainment on several “isles” or islands, it was announced by the big-box retailer on Monday.
See Walmart like never before 😎
Walmart Land is our new world on #ROBLOX with fun & games for all. From film to fashion — whatever you’re into, let’s have some fun with it. Come for the inspo, stay for the verch & live performances.

Roblox players can engage with the most well-liked products in Walmart’s Universe of Play, collecting tokens. Tokens can be exchanged for virtual goods (also known as “verch”), and completing challenges to assemble a trophy cabinet full of toys.
Three different kid-friendly experiences will be available at Walmart Land. With an interactive piano pathway a la the Big movie, a dance challenge, Netflix trivia, and a DJ booth to learn how to mix rhythms. Electric Island is modeled after the world’s finest music festivals.
Players can visit the same island in October for Electric Fest, a motion-capture event that will feature well-known performers including Yungblud and Madison Beer. A virtual changing room, a strike-a-pose contest, and a beauty products obstacle course. Furthermore, a roller skating rink featuring goods from almost every beauty brand is included in the stylish encounter known as House of Style.
What’s Next?
William White, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Walmart, has expressed how this is a big leap by saying:
We’re showing up in a big way — creating community, content, entertainment, and games through the launch of Walmart Land and Walmart’s Universe of Play.
He further explained that since Roblox is one of the biggest and most innovative platforms in the metaverse, we are also aware that our users are spending a lot of time there. As a result, we’re concentrating on developing exciting, novel experiences for kids, just as we do in their real-world neighborhoods and, more recently, in the virtual worlds where they play.
Conclusion
Both firms have millions of consumers which can benefit from this development. This partnership also highlights the importance of rising metaverse space.
