Nazara Technologies has made its foray into the world of Virtual Reality (VR) and Metaverse gaming with the global launch of Pokerverse VR, a cutting-edge multiplayer poker game. Developed by Hyderabad-based studio YesGnome and published under Nazara Publishing, the game is now available on the Meta Quest Store and Apple Vision Pro App Store.
Pokerverse VR offers players a deeply immersive, free-to-play experience that blends entertainment, social interaction, and skill-building in a futuristic poker lounge. It also provides the flexibility to switch between Augmented Reality (AR) and full VR environments, allowing users to play in virtual poker rooms or overlay the game into their real-world surroundings.
The game leverages gesture-based VR controls for natural interactions like peeking at cards or making bets, and features real-time multiplayer gameplay that connects users across the globe. For solo players, smart AI bots offer challenging practice sessions. The game includes a detailed progression system, custom betting controls, a floating in-game menu, and daily chip rewards to keep players engaged.
This launch also marks the debut of Nazara Publishing, a new division under Nazara Technologies focused on empowering Indian game developers. The publishing arm aims to support emerging platforms such as VR and AR by offering resources, expertise, and access to a broader market.
With Pokerverse VR, Nazara Technologies signals its commitment to exploring next-generation gaming formats. While the company has not announced additional VR titles yet, it is actively seeking high-potential gaming projects for future collaborations in the immersive tech space.
