7 great virtual places December ’22

Our new Best Of Virtual Reality series highlights some of the best places in VR.

We have made seven preliminary selections based on first-hand experience in virtual reality whenever possible. We recently recognized the standout spots widely released in 2022, including Vertical Robot’s visual powerhouse Red Matter 2 and the playful swing What The Bat? You can also find great games in all the lists below:

With our Best Of Virtual Reality series, we wanted to try a slightly different approach to identifying the top spots in VR. Here we aim to highlight certain destinations and things to do in VR. This is just the beginning, and we plan to identify more locations over time with updates to UploadVR’s Best Of Virtual Reality series throughout 2023 and beyond. We usually make our selections in places that a VR headset owner is likely to visit quickly. We also want to acknowledge the unique limited experiences as well as those that give you reasons to go beyond basic home VR setups. Please note that UploadVR’s Demos in VR may sometimes feature pre-release software or hardware or controlled demos that may differ from the general experience of paid customer service providers, and our schedules may have missed a connection to a particularly strong competitor in a particular category. very. We will mark the date of the most important updates in our lists, and you can send an email to [email protected] with information about interesting places opening in virtual reality.
