XR League announces Racket Club singles and doubles leagues season 1 set to begin January 22.

Both XRL and Resolution Games’ Racket Club were launched in December and continue the tradition of VR sports that began with the release of consumer headsets HTC Vive and Oculus Rift in 2016.

Since then, the quality of headsets has improved, virtual reality is now a recognized household term, and communities that numbered in dozens now have tens or hundreds of thousands.

Access to immersive tech has changed countless lives, including that of XRL Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer (CCO) Kyle Glaser, 32.

“I joined VR while on tour and loved the aspect of being able to travel on the road with it,” Glaser states. I wanted to find people who shared my passion for VR when the pandemic struck. I found many online. I now talk with them more often than IRL friends

and I love how immersive VR is. Glaser was introduced to Jason Ayre, and David Tuell, while playing Ready At Dawn [in real life]Echo Arena

  3. “That’s by far been the most rewarding part of the process thus far,” says Jason Ayre, XRL Chief Technology Officer. “The gravity of what we were building didn’t really hit me until I saw people from all around the world, scheduling times and working around each other’s schedules to play league matches.”

Indeed, there was enough interest from around the globe in Racket Club that XR League will feature both singles and doubles competition for the full first season that begins next week.
