## **Three Insights From The VR Gaming Market**

Our friends at Newzoo dropped a +40-page report on the VR gaming market, and we read it like good boys.

\
Here are the 3 things we learned:

\
**1/ The VR market has been enjoying a nice resurgence since 2020.**

\
When in 2014, Facebook bought Oculus, many investors became interested in VR.

\
But the hardware was still expensive, so the market was small.

\
As a result, developers didn't want to create content for that space.

\
So the market remained small due to a lack of content.

\
But now, things are different.

\
Meta has been mass-producing cheap VR headsets, and there's more VR content.

\
And more players are building on and for VR.

\
**2/ The VR space is growing rapidly**

\
According to the report, the VR hardware install base is expanding:

Also, VR game revenues are projected to double in the next three years. 🤯

\
**3/ VR had its first AAA game**

\
Half-Life: Alyx could be called the first mass VR game success.

\
It sold over 2 million units worldwide, taking advantage of the Half-Life IP.

\
The game makes it easy for players to interact with the environment, allowing them to immerse themselves in the game.

\
**Our take:**

\
These numbers show that while the market is tanking, the interest in VR gaming is only increasing.

\
Curious to see which web3/crypto title will penetrate the VR market, becoming the first mass-market AAA web3 VR game.
