This limitation also has the consequence that there are more game-type virtual spaces, since these tend to attract a more consistent playerbase. This will likely change when VR becomes more accessible to the average consumer, but means that I’ll only cover those applications where there can be a realistic expectation of multi-user interaction. Some for-VR projects with interesting interactional mechanics never took off as multiplayer titles, becoming purely single player experiences instead. This handicap of cutting edge technologies is slightly annoying for practical purposes. This is likely one of the reasons why some applications allow non-VR users to play as well. Only the top three most popular VR-only applications (Pavlov VR, Rec Room, Arizona Sunshine) currently have more than 100 concurrent players ( Source).

At the time of writing, there are only about 1500 players using VR multiplayer applications worldwide. One of the core problems with current virtual reality applications is their relatively low total playerbase.

The application must be compatible with the HTC Vive.

There must be a reasonably active playerbase.

There must be a multiplayer (preferably cooperative) element to the VR interaction.

We’re constantly looking for new social spaces, so feel free to message us with suggestions. I’ve decided to finally do a write-up of the current social virtual reality applications we have available for research.
