Venture Beat just announced the launch of Crit Attack, our 3rd game in the Meta Quest Store: "It’s accessible, simple and easy user experience. I picked it up and played within seconds, shooting the enemies and then reloading by dropping my hand down and then bringing the gun up again. You simply point the crosshairs at the monsters and then pull the trigger." This is the link to the full article: https://lnkd.in/eY2KupdB

The boundary between digital and physical worlds is disappearing - and the new Minecraft attractions with Merlin Entertainments perfectly illustrate the future of immersive experiences. Minecraft, the world’s best-selling video game, is stepping into reality with rides, retail spaces, and themed hotel rooms. This $110M collaboration leverages Microsoft and Mojang’s digital expertise with Merlin’s mastery in location-based entertainment, creating a true Mixed Reality experience. At MixRift, we’re inspired by how digital worlds like Minecraft can seamlessly merge with physical spaces to create entirely new ways to connect, explore, and play. This isn’t just a glimpse of gaming’s future - it’s a vision for all industries embracing immersive technologies. How are you preparing for the era of Mixed Reality? Let’s build it together. #MixedReality #ImmersiveExperiences #GamingInnovation #AR #VR #FutureTech #Minecraft #DigitalTransformation #MixRift https://lnkd.in/g2z4NigK

The journey has just begun, and we’re excited about what’s ahead. Here’s to pushing boundaries and creating unforgettable MR experiences. #MR #Innovation #MixedReality #Gaming #StartUpLife

Experience beats explanation when it comes to mixed reality. Our CEO, Bobby Voicu, demoed our games at #WebSummit last week, showcasing how immersive mixed reality truly is - far beyond what you get on a flat screen. Cate Lawrence from Tech.eu jumped in to try it out and proved she’s a zombie-slaying pro. Seeing it is one thing, but feeling it is where the magic happens. Huge thanks to Cate for taking the plunge into MR with us. #WebSummit #MR #Innovation #MixedReality #Gaming

Meta's Batman: Arkham Shadow demo tour across North America is exactly the kind of hands-on experience that VR newcomers need to dive into this tech. Hopefully, they'll add even more stops and pack in even more content to show off the incredible variety already available in their store. As Bobby Voicu, MixRift’s founder, shared in last week's XR Gamers Digest, Batman: Arkham Shadow is now available exclusively on Meta Quest 3 and 3S for $49.99! And for a limited time, new Quest 3 or 3S headset purchases include the game for free. #experientialmarketing #VR #MR https://lnkd.in/duJSPK2k

At MixRift, we believe innovation thrives in the hands of those who are willing to experiment, adapt and reimagine the possibilities of XR. The landscape is shifting, and now is the time for agile teams to lead the way. The timing couldn't be better for agile XR start-ups. While the tech giants are pulling back, smaller teams who deeply understand XR can move in and shape its future. The next breakthrough XR experiences won't come from corporate boardrooms – they'll come from passionate teams free to take real risks and push boundaries. Apple is scaling back Vision Pro production due to weak sales and may stop production by year-end, while Microsoft’s Mojang plans to end all VR/MR support for Minecraft by March 2025. As tech giants retreat from XR, it opens up opportunities for agile players. Apple’s challenges stem from the Vision Pro’s high price, leaving room for more affordable options like Meta’s Quest. Similarly, Mojang’s focus shift away from VR suggests big gaming companies are prioritising safer bets. This mirrors mobile gaming’s rise, but XR offers start-ups a chance to innovate directly for a new medium rather than adapting old games. #XR #ExtendedReality #TechTrends #EmergingTech #NextGenTech #TechLeadership https://lnkd.in/d5_ubeME
