MANCHESTER, UK – January 30, 2025 – StageTime, the virtual reality social platform for connecting and sharing the joy of performing, makes its grand debut on the virtual Meta Quest stage today!
Hop into a lively venue primed for singalongs, social interactions, and epic performances envisioned by an ex-software engineer from a top social VR platform, and creator of the leading VR karaoke space. StageTime transforms the way we interact and perform online. Gather up to 12 friends in a room and unleash your talents — from belting out power ballads and delivering stand-up comedy to reciting heartfelt poetry.
StageTime is built for everyone, from seasoned performers to curious newcomers. With an intuitive, friction-free design, users join public rooms within seconds of opening the app—no account setup needed. This immediate accessibility ensures you can dive straight into the action. Once inside, enjoy the show and let your imagination soar as you personalize your avatar with a wide array of hair colors, styles, skin tones, and accessories to reflect your unique style.
Take center stage and captivate your audience with full-body avatars that move and respond seamlessly to your voice and gestures. With voice-synced facial animations, every performance feels vivid and authentic. Whether you’re dazzling the crowd or cheering on fellow performers, StageTime ensures every interaction is immersive and memorable.
StageTime’s video-sharing feature enhances the party atmosphere. Sync and play your favourite videos directly in the app in real time with friends, ensuring everyone is perfectly in step without any delays or interruptions. With the in-game LIV camera, users are encouraged to capture and share their memories.
To celebrate the launch, StageTime will host a variety of events during the release week, including Karaoke, Open Mic Nights, Trivia Takedown, and Improvical sessions. These events promise something for everyone—from seasoned performers to curious newcomers. Join the Discord community for a full schedule and to connect with fellow users.
Founder Hamza Qureshi shares, “StageTime is more than an app—it’s a stage for creativity and connection. Our vision is to empower people to share their talents and create real lasting memories in a virtual setting.”
Virtuware is committed to a robust content roadmap post-launch. In addition to new venues and expanded avatar customization options, StageTime will deliver tools to make it easy for businesses to get their teams in VR and get work done. From sharing presentations to fostering collaboration, the platform will ensure seamless and accessible virtual interactions for all.
StageTime launches for free worldwide on the Meta store on Thursday, January 30, 2025. For more information on the game, please visit the official website, follow StageTime on TikTok, and join the community Discord.
