Vinci Games’ Post

It’s been a long time coming and Maciej Szcześnik and I are excited to announce that Blacktop Hoops, the ultimate VR basketball game, has officially launched on Meta Quest, Steam, and Pico. Try it out for yourself: https://lnkd.in/eZQUhUUd?    So much effort has gone into making this as close to a perfect VR basketball game as possible. With over 1 million players pre-launch and over 16,000 reviews with a 92% five star rating, we’re hyped to bring Blacktop Hoops to the masses. Thank you for our investors who’ve believed in our vision to build the next-generation of AAA games for AR/VR. Makers Fund, Y Combinator, Kevin Lin (Co-Founder Twitch).

We're working on some new experimental modes pushing the boundaries of sports in AR/VR with Blacktop Hoops. If you're interested in chatting, send me a DM. I'll be at GDC! Here's a sneak peek.

Our team at Vinci Games has just overtaken Meta's own Population: One as the 15th highest rated VR game ever on Meta Quest with 14,486 reviews. And this is while we're still pre-launch with a 92% five star rating! We have some exciting news to share at the end of this week but I wanted to thank the amazing Vinci Games team for their hard work in bringing the ultimate arcade VR basketball game to market.
