VRChat is an online virtual world consisting of thousands of user-created worlds of various genres and environments that are populated by player avatars which can be acquired through uploading them via the process of creation or purchase from another creator, or by interacting with an avatar pedestal, which will transform the user into the avatar displayed.

History[edit]

VRChat was first launched on Microsoft Windows and Oculus Rift on January 16, 2014. It was later released on Steam in 2017, which gave non-Oculus VR users accessibility for the first time, and Oculus Quest in 2019. It currently supports all Oculus headsets, minus Oculus Go, via the Oculus Store; all HTC headsets, Windows Mixed Reality headsets and the Valve Index through SteamVR. Notably, it also supports full-body humanoid avatar tracking via Vive Trackers or the Xbox Kinect module, though none of these accessories are mandatory to play. Via modification and external software, accessories such as facial tracking, haptics, and VR treadmills become compatible for use within VRChat.

Despite that the game is called VRChat, it is not a requirement to own a VR headset or head-mounted display (HMD) to play. Unfortunately, users playing without a VR headset do not have the advantage of manually moving their appendages, and can only use one hand when interacting with an object by using the mouse. Few content in worlds are exclusively manageable by those who are playing the game in virtual reality which requires two hands, but this is a case-by-case basis and sometimes not intentional.

Gameplay[edit]

When the player begins VRChat for the first time, they take the avatar of a generic gray robot, and are transported into a private tutorial world where they learn how to move, look, use the menu, and interact with objects. Upon completing the tutorial, the player has complete freedom on where to go next, what to do, and who to talk to. Naturally, users will want to find an avatar world, a user-created world with a collection of many free-to-use avatars to take the form of, including but not limited to anthropomorphicanimals and kemonomimi avatars.

Unlike games like SecondLife, VRChat does not yet have an official currency or any type of monetary system, but a 'Creator Economy' system is in the works. VRChat does not rely on advertisements from third-party businesses. VRChat has the ability for users to support the game by subscribing to VRChat Plus for $10 USD per month, or $100 USD per year. Despite that the game was released in 2014, developers still consider the game being in Early Access, and may change their motives for advertisement and currency in the future.

There are many public and private environments of all genres that the player can explore. Players can choose to join a public instance, or create a private instance to be alone or invite friends after adding them. The type of privacy of created instances is up to the player, and follows under the various tiers:

Public - Anyone can join
Friends+ - Your friends, and their friends, and so on can join
Friends - Only your friends may join; friends of friends are excluded
Invite+ - Players and friends of players must request to join your instance, unless you or an invited user's social status is set to 'Join Me'
Invite - Players must send a join request to join you, unless your social status is set to 'Join Me'; friends of friends are excluded

The types of worlds created by users range from fantasy, games, dance clubs, personal worlds and homes, and real-world recreations, although not officially categorized. In the World tab in the VRChat menu, players can favorite a world to have in a personal list to visit later, or they can set the world as their personal home which allows the user to load into the world by default any time they start up the game.

Many worlds include the use of mirrors, which the player can toggle on or off to look at a reflection of their avatar or other users standing nearby. Mirrors are normally joked about within the VRChat community, because cliques of users commonly dubbed mirror-dwellers, may only stare in mirrors with their friends, and not move away or do anything else. Mirrors are a default asset of the software development kit for VRChat, which is why it is abundant to find mirrors in many worlds.

VRChat has the ability for users to open the menu and click on the other player that brings open another menu that can allow the player to friend, mute, hide their avatar, or block them completely. It also allows a button to show the stats of the avatar that they are using, and show the avatar's publisher. Players can also filter the optimization of player ranks through the Safety tab of the menu, which can automatically adjust the game's performance via toggling or limited user Trust ranks. It can allow a user to filter audio, avatars, particles, shaders, and sounds that an avatar emits.

Trust ranks[edit]

The Trust rank system is a system exclusive to VRChat. Trust is earned through playing the game, adding friends, and uploading content. It is possible to lose trust in-game, and it is theorized that this can happen from getting blocked by users, being reported, or unfriended by multiple users at once, as well as breaking articles within VRChat's Terms of Service. Players who are within the New User rank or greater will be granted the privilege to upload avatars and worlds to VRChat; this is done to prevent spam. Otherwise, Trust ranks do not affect anything that the player accesses on the platform. You can tell the Trust rank of a user by opening the Quick Menu and looking at the user's nameplate, with white being brand new to VRChat, and purple being a seasoned user. The various tiers of the Trust rank are as follows:

Normal Ranks

Visitor (gray) - The default rank of every user beginning VRChat for the first time. It is estimated a Visitor has approximately less than twelve hours of in-game time.
New User (blue) - At this rank, players will have the ability to upload worlds and avatars as long as they have a compatible version of Unity and the VRChat SDK.
User (green)
Known User (orange) - People who have this rank or higher can mask their rank to show as a User (green).
Trusted User (purple) - This is the highest visible rank to achieve in VRChat at this time. It's theorized that this rank can be achieved by playing the game frequently for at least a year and uploading content.

Other Ranks

Nuisance (dark gray) - A negative rank lower than a Visitor. Users under this rank a
