To our Amaze community,
When we first introduced the Amaze app to the VR world in early 2017, we could not expect the love and support we’d receive, ultimately leading us to hit #1 free app in the Oculus store by that September. Those early days were truly the Wild West—exploring what worked, and more importantly what did not work in VR—and we hustled to create amazing content with the limited resources we had. Your continued support gave us the drive to deliver the best content possible, and we released a diverse array of VR experiences weekly, providing a home for VR creators to reach our fervent audience.
In late 2019, we decided to fully focus on music, and specifically VR concerts. Music is a human experience that transcends culture and bonds people together—and combined with our VR tech creates an experience like none other. We’ve been building our foundation for VR concerts through refining our proprietary tech and growing an incredible team from the music, entertainment, tech, and gaming industries. And now we’re prepping for our first commercial launch of our VR concerts with the incomparable Megan Thee Stallion.
As we’re still a relatively small startup with limited resources, we need to focus our efforts on creating a groundbreaking VR concert experience for artists and their fans. And with this new direction, it is bittersweet to announce that we will be taking down the Amaze app across all VR stores today. The app will continue to be available for existing users, but it will not be available for download for new or previous users, nor will we be supporting any technical issues or adding any new content to the app.
Thank you so much for joining us these past few years on our journey to expand people’s experiences through VR—we would not be here today without you all. We’re thrilled for this next chapter of life at AmazeVR as we believe our VR concerts will be game-changing for artists and fans. We hope you continue to stay tuned as we build the future of music.
