The company’s metaverse project called, MSquared, is more than a year in the making and would enable users to live, work and interact with each other virtually.

Improbable said that Google, Nvidia and Japanese cloud gaming firm Ubitus would serve as the technical partners for its metaverse network.

What Improbable is launching isn't a public release of its network of metaverses but rather the developer tools that will enable programmers to build their own metaverses. Developers began accessing its programming language as of Thursday evening, which enabled them to start creating objects in its digital worlds.

Entities will be able to build metaverse experiences using Improbable's Morpheus technology, which is designed to host mass-scale multiplayer online games, Improbable said.What Improbable is building Narula said MSquared is something that can live independently of Improbable — in other words, if Improbable were to cease to exist, MSquared would continue on uninterrupted.

Improbable will compete with the likes of Meta and Microsoft, which are building their own metaverses, as well as Roblox and Epic Games.The London firm, one of Japanese tech investment giant SoftBank's biggest bets in Britain, was founded by Cambridge computer science students Narula and Rob Whitehead with the ambition of developing large-scale computer simulations and "synthetic environments.

The tech industry has been betting that virtual and augmented reality will prove to be something of a "paradigm" shift in technology akin to the invention of the internet or the smartphone.
