Developed in partnership with Skybox, the Virtex Stadium offers a fully immersive 3D experience that allows viewers to watch events live from anywhere in the world. Whether you're using a desktop or a compatible VR headset, you can spectate from seats around the virtual stadium or enter the game's map to watch the matches up close. And with a lobby area, lounge bar, and main hall, players can explore the virtual space and interact with other fans using customizable avatars.

The Virtex Stadium's initial launch will feature Counter-Strike (CS:GO and Counter-Strike 2), and is available in closed beta. Tim McGuinness, co-founder of Virtex, expressed excitement about the integration of CS:GO.

Bringing other sports and entertainment events to life in a virtual world could allow for unprecedented accessibility and engagement, he said.
