VirtualGo Builds 2027 MR Co-op System, Bringing Remote Players Into Scanned Homes

Summary

  • VirtualGo said multiplayer updates for Hauntify, Mission Rift and FPS Enhanced Reality are planned for 2027, built around a system that lets remote players enter a host’s mixed-reality play space.
  • The technology maps real objects in the host’s room into game assets and streams that transformed space to other players in real time; CEO David Montecalvo said latency was negligible.
  • That approach targets a key MR weakness: most current mixed-reality games keep each player in a separate room, while true co-located play is limited by the low number of headsets in typical households.
  • VirtualGo said the system is not limited to horror or shooters and could extend to genres such as RPGs and cozy games, potentially broadening mixed reality’s social and user-generated possibilities.
