Summary
Planet Funkatron and The Organism Trilogy offer some surprising sights in VRChat on PC. Here's a look inside:
We've been in contact with VRChat experts with thousands of hours logged across the service's interconnected web of worlds and had a few tour guides pointing us toward some of the most memorable places. We were already recording our findings when VRChat cut 30% of its workforce this week to lengthen its runway toward growth. We don't know what direction VRChat will take its social platform in the future, but this week, Don Hopper was our eyes and ears world hopping VRChat's latest public locations.
Don returned from his trip with video recorded from dozens of PC VR worlds. It's a bit overwhelming to see the incredible creative landscape possible with a beefy PC to really make it shine.
There's so much to see, we're going to make an effort here to link to many interesting public worlds over time. Link us to an interesting world with an email to [email protected].
All of Don's captures this week were made with him as Spock running PC VR on his Intel I9 13900k CPU with 64GB of DDR5 RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU streaming to Quest 3 via Virtual Desktop. Capture was done directly on the Quest 3 headset. While it's possible that some worlds work in standalone Quest mode, we're choosing to highlight what PC-based systems are capable of showing players.
