VRChat

Get help

A virtual social platform where you can meet people, play games, explore various worlds, or build your own world. Unlike other apps, you don’t need a VR headset to participate, so you’ll meet people logged in through Steam or the VR Chat website. Another differentiator is the number of options you have to customize your avatar, which are more expressive than avatars in other apps.

VR Chat is very popular, but in all honesty we VR/gaming newbies found it hard to figure out. The app is in Early Access so we hope a better user intro is on the way. Quick tip: your movement in the app is controlled by the joystick on the left controller – we got so used to using our right one that this wasn’t immediately obvious and took longer than it should have for us to figure it out.
