Following on from the release of the Metaverse Universe Chart for Q3 2023, here's our analysis of Monthly Active Users. On a headline basis, total MAUs for the Metaverse increased by 29m from Q2 to Q3, driven primarily by growth in the Web2 browser/app segment of the market.

And here's a clear visual showing the dominance that Web2 currently has over the Metaverse sector.
