Forbes, a business magazine founded in 1917, now has a distinguished, permanent Web3 presence on the Sandbox Metaverse.&nbsp;
Nestled to the west of “Dracula's Castle” and a few plots north of “HODL Island,” within the virtual world, the new Forbes experience is currently <a href="https://www.sandbox.game/en/map/?mode=play&amp;zoom=1&amp;lat=-53&amp;lng=16" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">available</a> to the public.

The Sandbox officially opened for business in November of 2023. Cointelegraph <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/metaverse-future-shape-users-brands-creators-sandbox-cofounders" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">caught up with Sandbox co-founder Sebastien Borget on the day of the launch</a>. He explained then that “now [anyone] can open their experience to the public [and] make it accessible, which will increase the amount of experience and content that people can play and discover on the platform.”
Sandbox has entered an increasingly competitive space. While big tech notables such as Meta and Apple vie for the top slot when it comes to metaverse hardware, companies such as Surreal Events and Somnium Space have expanded on the ideas initially conceived in pre-metaverse apps such as Second Life and on the MOO/MUX/MUSH servers of yesteryear.
