What it is

VRChat is a free-to-play social platform built almost entirely by its community. You pick or build an avatar and explore an endless, ever-growing library of player-made worlds — from games and clubs to art galleries and hangout spaces. Despite the name, it does not require a VR headset; it runs fine in desktop mode on PC through Steam, which is a big reason it consistently ranks among Steam's most-played free titles.

Why play it

  • Completely free with a near-infinite supply of community-made worlds.
  • Works with or without a VR headset, so anyone can join in.
  • One of the most creative and social spaces on PC.
Worth knowing

It is unmoderated in places and very open-ended, so quality of worlds and lobbies varies a lot.
