VRChat New Concurrent User Record Set During Japan-Centered Music Festival

VRChat set a new user concurrent user record during the Sanrio Virtual Festival.

The latest high mark for a community gathered mostly in VR headsets is 156,716 set during the SANRIO_Vfes Super Kaguya-hime! event last weekend. That’s more than 8,000 people more than the last high mark, according to VRChat community lead Tupper.

The Sanrio Virtual Festival features performances from a range of artists and organizations and the new record for concurrent use of the platform occurred in connection with a character from the movie Cosmic Princess Kaguya, which is currently on Netflix. The character performed a song “through exclusive recorded audio and movement data on VRChat,” Tupper explained.
