Virtual reality has always been linked to the environment of the gamingalthough has shown in other fields that it can be a truly innovative technology capable of completely transforming the perception we have of the world itself. Medicine, for example, is a field in which it has a lot to say although, no matter how much they tell us, whenever someone says VR we will start thinking about the same thing: video games.
Is it a profitable technology?
We do not ask ourselves this question both from the side of the hardware manufacturer and from the developers, who must either program a new title from the beginning, or adapt what they already have published on PC and consoles so that they work with glasses. . This requires a considerable investment in time and money and does not have, apparently, a guaranteed return (unless you call yourself Capcom and experiment with Resident Evil VII Y VIII).

The fact is that in the last days We have been pleasantly surprised to find out the figures that games like Among Us VRa title that arrived on November 10, 2022 and that in just two and a half months has exceeded a truly surprising number of units sold, which says a lot about what the market can bring us in the near future, given that Sony will launch its PSVR 2 at the end of February.
The fact is that as you can read (above) in the message posted on Twitter in the official account of Among Us VR, the game has managed to sell, and exceed, one million units, which is not bad. Hence the displays of joy from the Innersloth boys.
In the end the VR accounts add up
It is obvious that virtual reality is not a technology that is widely used since the number of players who use it on PC or PlayStation is still very small but, within those niche dimensions through which it moves, it offers enough economic incentives to raise the possibility of many studios putting their heads in that field and succeed.
Surely this case of Innersloth is the most obvious and, together with Valve with Steam VR or Sony with PSVR 2, it is clear that the numbers fit and are enough to move with guarantees the small market that revolves around it. Not surprisingly, the new PlayStation glasses will arrive with more than 30 titles in a sector in which its users have a greater tendency to buy new features and enjoy them with hardware that, let’s not forget, costs in many cases more than the device itself. console… or a good part of the PC hardware.
In any case, if you have not yet taken the leap to try VR technology, do not hesitate. As much as they tell you how spectacular it is, the sensations it transmits and how much you discover when you wear one, there is nothing comparable to doing it yourself and from that moment become addicted to the immersive experience that allows you to be part of such gigantic worlds that it is often difficult to leave them.
