VRChat is a social virtual reality platform that enables users to create, explore, and connect in fully immersive virtual environments. Available across VR headsets and desktop platforms, the service provides comprehensive tools for building custom worlds and avatars using Unity SDK.

The platform supports cross-platform access through Steam, Meta Quest Store, Pico, Android, and iOS, with VR not required for participation. Users can design unique avatars, construct interactive 3D worlds, and participate in diverse social experiences ranging from casual hangouts to organized events and performances.

VRChat has developed a Creator Economy that allows content creators to monetize their work through subscriptions and virtual goods sales. The platform handles transactions through VRChat Credits, with creators receiving 50 percent of subscription revenue after platform fees. Group subscriptions enable creators to offer exclusive access to special worlds, items, roles, and events for their supporters.

The optional VRChat Plus subscription provides enhanced features including increased avatar favorite slots, custom nameplate icons, age verification for 18+ instances, trust rank boosts, advanced camera modes with drone and dolly systems, and custom emoji. The subscription directly funds platform development and server infrastructure.

VRChat maintains extensive documentation for both users and creators, including comprehensive guides for world building, avatar creation, and Udon scripting. The platform supports an active community through official forums, Discord server, wiki resources, and regular patch notes. Safety features include community guidelines, moderation systems, and trust-based permissions.
