NORTH AMERICA–Warner Bros. Pictures and Amblin Entertainment have partnered with HTC Vive to bring Ready Player One-inspired experiences to VR arcades across the country.

The Ready Player One VR content will be available at 35 VR arcades, with more planned for the future, and includes several titles such as “The Oasis Beta,” which is the 2018 beta phase of the virtual universe from the film, “Aech’s Garage in Sansar,” which is an interpretation of the original ILM design for the film, and “The Distracted Globe Music Experience” in The WaveVR, which is inspired by The Distracted Globe dance club scene from the film.

In addition to the VR arcades, 65 Microsoft Stores will feature Ready Player One content beginning today.

"VR offers the ability to tell stories in an entirely new way for film audiences; they'll be able to immerse themselves in worlds inspired by Ready Player One like never before," says Joel Breton, general manager, Vive Studios. "With this program, we're making great VR content available to arcades across the nation as a celebration of the movie and everything that VR can be."
