VR ESPORT ARENA :
You're used to playing competitive games, but are you used to playing INSIDE competitive games?
VR eSport Arena is a virtual reality arena that lets you immerse up to 10 free-moving players in a single game.
Unlike traditional VR games where you're limited to a small space or chair, this arena allows users to walk and move around a large space while interacting with virtual elements. This makes the VR experience more realistic and engaging.
