Here we are after The UploadVR Showcase - Winter 2025, and wow, that line-up feels like Christmas coming early. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who participated – those who watched the event, the content creators who restreamed it, and of course every developer who submitted their project. The VR community consistently raises the bar, and this winter, we had the pleasure of presenting over 50 virtual reality announcements.
Did you miss the live show? No worries – you can watch every second of the showcase here. In the meantime, check out our comprehensive list below of everything announced.
This winter’s showcase was made possible through our generous sponsors: Breach, I Am Bird, V-Nova, Basement Bunker Labs, and The Great Flood VR. Thank you for everything that you do. And it wouldn’t be a showcase without the gracious support of Humble Bundle, making great games available at a great price, and supporting the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
