20 Coolest Places to Visit in VRChat
If you’re not familiar with VRChat, you should know that it’s one of the most innovative online virtual world platforms around. Players don avatars — either realistic ones based on their own appearance, pop culture characters, or other fun virtual personalities — and explore different worlds. These worlds can range from relaxing atmospheric homes to virtual games that players can enjoy with others. Currently, VRChat is available on Steam as well as a variety of virtual reality headsets, like the Meta Quest 2 (formerly known as the Oculus Quest 2) and the Valve Index.
