Cover Story: This study investigates how metaverse characteristics—sociability, immersiveness, and environmental fidelity—influence continuance intention, mediated by consumer experience. A Delphi study with 26 experts validated these characteristics. Data from 391 metaverse users, analyzed via PLS-SEM, revealed that consumer experience fully mediates the effects of immersiveness and environmental fidelity and partially mediates sociability’s impact on continuance intention. NCA confirmed consumer experience as a prerequisite, while IMPA identified sociability as the primary driver. These findings extend experience-dominant logic to virtual settings and provide actionable insights for enhancing metaverse engagement. View this paper
