Hundreds of thousands of hangouts to drop into
You and your co-op friends pick somewhere and just show up. One afternoon that can mean dogfighting in fighter jets, then catching up in a treehouse floating in a nebula. Another night it is a haunted mansion, a planetarium chat about astronomy, a hike through a fantasy forest, or a live music event under a chemical storage facility. Worlds and avatars are all made by users, so the choice is absurdly wide, from quiet rooms for talking to full party lobbies. If nothing fits, the tools are there to build it yourselves.
Thousands of small games built for groups
VRChat works for co-op friends because there is always some game to jump into together. Run a kitchen during a busy restaurant rush, race go-karts in zero gravity, or try a battle royale where everyone looks completely different. The store lists casual card games, shooters, racing, platformers, puzzles, horror, and endless party games. You play a hand of cards with a robot, an alien, and an eight-foot tall wolf, and nobody finds that strange. Quality varies since everything is community-made, which is part of the charm.
Be whoever, with movement that sells it
Everyone shows up as something different. You can be an alien, a talking dog, or, as the store puts it, a sentient shoe with glowing bits that react to the beat of music by changing color. Avatars follow your movement in VR, with support for full-body tracking and finger tracking on various headsets, so hanging out reads more like being there than staring at nameplates. Desktop works too for joining in on the fun without a headset. New friends are easy to keep track of once you join their Group and find them again next time.
Made for finding your crowd
Sessions are social and loose: join a lobby, coordinate badly, start another round. Pull up to a car meet and talk shop, compare notes with DJs after a set, or wander until a weird world becomes your group's local spot. Creation uses the VRChat SDK with Unity and Udon, the in-house scripting language, so groups often grow around worlds someone built. Whatever your thing is, there is probably a corner for it, plus a whole bunch of new friends waiting, as the welcome says.
