There is no the metaverse currently, but there are many metaverses. The definition itself is shaky and contradictory across sources. But to summarize, a metaverse is a "set of digital spaces that you can move seamlessly between", it will include "familiar 2D experiences, as well as ones projected into the physical world and fully immersive 3D ones too". It can be accessed via your phone or computer, or a VR reset for "full immersion". Fortnite is a metaverse, but some say Roblox and Minecraft aren't. I couldn't tell you how that distinction was drawn.
My favorite metaverse is RuneScape, but I unfortunately haven't visited in a decade or more. Steam might also be considered a metaverse. Which would imply Xbox Online and all that are too.
