Is it worth it to create a VR studio & develop VR games in 2026?
Hi everyone, hope you're all doing well!
Here’s the context:
I’m passionate about gaming and VR, and one of my dream goals is to create a studio that develops high-quality native VR games. I already have several original concepts in mind.
I recently made a prototype for my 1st concept. I’ll be testing it soon to gather feedback and decide whether it’s worth investing more resources into turning it into a full game. I guess it'll require about 8 months of development and 2/3 people (including me).
Here’s where I’d really appreciate some external thoughts and feedback from the VR community and industry experts 😄
How do you view the VR gaming market right now? Is the community enthusiastic? Waiting for new original titles? What’s the overall sentiment?
And most importantly: is it realistic to expect enough returns to make an independent studio financially sustainable?
Thank you for your attention ❤️
