Currently available on closed beta via Oculus PC-VR on compatible VR headsets, we are very excited to be partnering with the National Esports Professional Association (NEPA) to bring a dedicated Echo VR event to the stadium this December which will see some of the best Echo VR esports teams compete against each other. Running on the 17th and 18th of December, the event will showcase the full Virtex Stadium experience for the first time: watching esports competitions in live 3D with other fans. With the option to jump in and float alongside players as they compete in the Echo VR arena, fans will be able to get closer than ever to the game they love.
This 3D experience of being able to view gameplay from the centre of the stadium is a world first and it forms the foundation of Virtex’s ambition to become home to the most memorable and unique events in gaming. Experiencing those breathtaking moments at the same time unifies the fan collective and this is guaranteed by everyone in the stadium receiving the same synced live stream. Launching with Echo VR is a first step in that direction and we are already preparing more announcements for early next year, with one of the biggest esports titles in the world joining the platform. So stay tuned!
We are very excited to finally announce Virtex Stadium's official first live event with Echo VR, giving gamers a first glimpse about how they'll be able to watch some of the biggest esports tournaments from anywhere in the world.
A few words about Meta's decision to sunset Echo VR & what it means for us.
On Thursday 2nd of February we had our very first AMA on our official Discord; we talked about the future of Virtex Stadium, what the team is working on at the moment and what can be expected from us in the coming months.
