AltspaceVR is a social virtual world built around meeting people, hanging out, attending events and exploring community-created spaces.
Put on a VR headset or launch it on a regular PC screen and you'll enter a shared world with other people. You can talk using spatial voice chat, meet up with friends, join public spaces and events, or find somewhere quiet to hang out.
AltspaceVR isn't a traditional game with a campaign or a fixed objective. It's a social platform where the experience comes from the people you meet and the things happening around you.
Explore Worlds
AltspaceVR is made up of different virtual spaces called Worlds. Some are built for conversation and small meetups, while others are designed around games, performances, communities or large events.
You can move between Worlds, discover new places and join other people already there. We're also working on expanding the tools available to world creators so the range of experiences can grow alongside the community.
Meet People
Social interaction is at the centre of AltspaceVR.
Talk naturally with people around you using spatial voice chat, express yourself through your avatar and meet people through public Worlds, events and communities.
We're building out the social systems during Early Access, including friends, profiles, groups, messaging and better ways to find people and communities you want to spend time with.
Events
Events can range from a few people meeting up to larger organised gatherings.
Comedy nights, open mics, talks, screenings, community meetups, games, performances and late-night hangouts can all take place inside AltspaceVR.
Our goal is to make it easy to see what's happening, find something you're interested in and jump straight into it.
Avatars
Choose an avatar and customise how you appear to other people.
The avatar system is being expanded throughout Early Access with additional avatar options, clothing and customisation. We're also experimenting with progression and unlockable cosmetics as another way for people to build an identity over time.
VR and Desktop
A VR headset isn't required.
AltspaceVR can be played in VR or on a standard Windows PC, so people without a headset can still join Worlds, attend events and spend time with VR users.
The experience is free to play.
