PocketReal Inc. has officially released the alpha version of its cutting-edge Mixed Reality (MR) spatial live streaming app, “PokeRia.” This app allows users to invite their favorite VTubers, anime, and game characters into the real world, providing a platform that can support hundreds of simultaneous viewers using the Meta Quest 3 as a compatible device. For more details, please refer to the official PocketReal website.

New Form of Live Streaming

With PokeRia, users can enjoy an immersive experience that feels as if they are right there with the characters. This is achieved by allowing characters to appear in real-time, creating a sense of connection between the listeners and the characters that transcends traditional entertainment. Additionally, there is a cheering feature that enhances live broadcasts through tipping and gifting.

Experience on Quest 3

Users of the Meta Quest 3 can quickly download the app for free from the Meta Quest Store and try out the features of the alpha version. Future updates will introduce on-demand streaming capability, allowing users to invite their beloved characters into their homes anytime, anywhere.

Exhibition at Tokyo Game Show 2025

PokeRia is set to be showcased at the Tokyo Game Show in September 2025, where attendees can have a firsthand experience of the tagline’s world, “Your Favorite Characters Right Next to You,” through demos using Quest 3.

Prospects for Global Expansion

PocketReal Inc. initially targets users within Japan, with plans to expand into international markets, particularly in North America and Asia. In the future, they aim to collaborate not just with VTubers but also with anime and game characters to provide entirely new entertainment experiences. For the latest updates, check out their official social media on X and YouTube.

Feedback and Future Outlook

PokeRia is a revolutionary app that breaks down the barriers between reality and the virtual world. Fans can now spend more intimate moments with their characters beyond the screen. This approach is set to offer users entirely new value and excitement, especially in an era where entertainment is becoming increasingly digital. We are very much looking forward to seeing how this world expands with the evolution of technology.
