VRChat
In the social VR game VRChat, players make the avatars and even whole worlds themselves. They build them in outside tools, and world logic has its own visual programming language, Udon. A headset is optional: there is a mode for a regular computer.

VRChat started in January 2014 as a program for the Oculus Rift DK1 prototype headset. Graham Gaylor and Jesse Joudrey created it, and on February 1, 2017 it entered Steam early access.
Dancers with full-body tracking have given performances and classes here, from ballet to breaking. The company Hikky has run a series of Vket fairs in VRChat, where community members sell digital goods, and Bandai Namco and Disney have had booths there. In February 2026 a concert premiere held as part of the Sanrio VFes festival helped set a record of around 156,700 people at once.
VRChat has also had a clash with its players. In July 2022 the developers announced Easy Anti-Cheat to block banned client modifications, and the game was flooded with negative reviews on Steam. Players leave 73% positive out of 274,573 reviews. By our Recommended Score it is #4,363 of 4,736 games.
