Road to VR Launches 5.0 Redesign After 10 Years on 2015 Site Foundation

1 articles · Updated · roadtovr.com · Jun 10

Summary

  • Road to VR unveiled version 5.0 as its first major site overhaul in a decade, replacing a platform and layout that had remained fundamentally in place since 2015.
  • The redesign unifies desktop and mobile into one responsive site, adds cleaner page layouts and topic-based navigation, and moves to faster, more modern infrastructure built for future features.
  • More than 10,000 articles and nearly 50GB of media were migrated in the launch, and the publication said community feedback has already helped fix early rough edges while more issues are still being addressed.
  • A new Power Feed and section-specific RSS options target heavy readers, while the upgraded server setup is meant to support audience growth as Road to VR marks 15 years since its 2011 launch.
  • The independent XR publication also said it has handled ad operations internally since ending its Gamer Network partnership after IGN's 2024 acquisition of that media company.
