Facebook has acquired BigBox VR.
The social media platform - which purchased Oculus Rift in 2014 - has continued its gaming purchases by obtaining the 'Population: One' developer.
'Population: One' has been a huge hit with gamers, and though it is unclear what the video game's future will be following the acquisition, Facebook Reality Labs' Mike Verdu assured that the team will be supported in continued updates and improvements for the game.
He said: "We're excited to help BigBox VR grow and accelerate their vision for POPULATION: ONE as a state-of-the-art VR social gaming experience, as well as pursue future projects, with access to the resources and support of Facebook and Oculus Studios."
However, Facebook previously praised 'Population: One' for its social elements.
Verdu said in a blog post: "POP: ONE stormed onto the VR scene just nine months ago and has consistently ranked as one the top-performing titles on the Oculus platform, bringing together up to 24 people at a time to connect, play, and compete in a virtual world.
"While social is bringing players into POP: ONE, the quirky humour, continual updates, and pure fun of the environment keeps them coming back time and time again - we've even seen players scheduling time to meet in-game for a synchronous social experience."
