Nazara Publishing, a game publishing division of Nazara Technologies, the Mumbai-based mobile gaming and esports firm, has launched Pokerverse VR, a virtual reality multiplayer poker game for Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro.
The game, developed by Hyderabad-based studio YesGnome, is Nazara’s first foray into immersive gaming experiences under its publishing division.
The game offers features like live multiplayer tables, AR/VR modes, AI opponents for practice, gesture-based VR controls, and a progression system with daily rewards.
Pokerverse VR is a free-to-play game, designed to offer entertainment, social interaction, and skill-building. Featuring real-time multiplayer, natural VR controls, and AR/VR flexibility, it allows players to step into a futuristic poker lounge or bring the game into their real-world environment.
Nitish Mittersain, Jt MD & CEO of Nazara Technologies, said, “With Pokerverse VR, we’re taking our first step into immersive gaming experiences at Nazara Publishing. As platforms like Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest gain traction, we see exciting possibilities in this space. We’re actively exploring future titles with developers who want to build for the next era of gaming.”
Sridhar Muppidi, Founder of YesGnome, said, “We wanted to reimagine poker as an immersive, social experience that felt tactile, intuitive, and global from day one. It’s been an exciting journey building Pokerverse VR, and we’re thrilled to partner with Nazara Publishing to bring this vision to players across platforms.”
