About VRChat
VRChat is a user‑generated virtual world platform where players can explore countless environments, from fighter‑jet dogfights to floating nebula treehouses. The experience emphasizes social interaction, allowing you to meet new friends, join groups, and attend live events.
All content—worlds, avatars, games—is created with the VRChat SDK, Unity, and the Udon scripting language, and the platform supports VR headsets, full‑body and finger tracking, as well as standard controllers on Windows.
01 / THE GUIDE
User‑Generated Worlds
Hundreds of thousands of worlds exist, ranging from haunted mansions to zero‑gravity go‑kart tracks. Every world is built by community members using the VRChat SDK and Unity.
If a desired experience isn’t already present, creators can build it themselves, adding new locations for others to explore.
- Browse the world list to find environments that match your interests.
- Use the search function to locate specific themes, like “planetarium” or “fantasy forest.”

The platform supports full‑body and finger tracking, so avatars move naturally with your motions.
- Experiment with avatar rigs that support finger tracking for expressive gestures.
- Check community hubs for avatar packs that suit your style.
