MixRift wants to create the “Angry Birds” of mixed reality games, and the new studio secured $1.6 million in funding.
Formed last year by CEO Bobby Voicu, CPO David Pripas, and CTO Andrei Vaduva, MixRift confirmed that this funding round was led by Outsized Ventures, Underline Ventures, and SOSV. The studio confirmed this funding will help accelerate “its efforts to develop and publish in-demand mixed reality titles” for Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro.
Believing that mixed reality appeals to a wider set of users, MixRift aims to deliver the “Angry Birds” of MR – not to be confused with Resolution Games’ recent MR mode for Angry Birds VR: Isle Of Pigs. Developers say they focus on game mechanics and quickly prototype games rather than “specific titles”. MixRift released two MR titles in 2024:
Quest is a 3D game that involves solving puzzles and defeating demons through portals. Fractured, on the other hand, is a 3D platformer available for both Hell Horde or Quest. Other games will be released later in the year. However, specifics about their titles are still unknown.
