VR developer and publisher Virtuware has revealed the official release date for their new game, StageTime, as it arrives next month. The game is being promoted as a virtual social app where people gather and sing together, which is a cool way of looking at it, but it basically is virtual karaoke with friends and strangers. We have more info here and the latest trailer, as the game arrives on January 16, 2025, for MetaQuest.

StageTime allows seamless sync for each user, so there are no pesky delays or lag to drag down the party.
