A Collective Triumph: HOLOGATE Celebrates 20 Million Global VR Experiences!

This milestone is a testament to the collaborative spirit of the HOLOGATE community, from the dedicated team to the visionary founders, committed owners and operators, supportive partners, and passionate fans, who have all played a crucial role in this shared success. This achievement also firmly solidifies HOLOGATE as the world’s largest VR network.

HOLOGATE’s partner venues annually host approximately 5 million VR experiences, generating substantial revenue. Priced at an average of $10 per experience, this results in an impressive combined revenue of $50 million from HOLOGATE systems each year.

Since its foundation in 2013 by founder Leif Petersen, HOLOGATE has been driven by a shared vision to make extended reality accessible to everyone.  The unwavering commitment to crafting unparalleled immersive VR experiences has resulted in a diverse portfolio of interactive and engaging entertainment products, capturing the imaginations of users globally.

At the heart of the HOLOGATE community is the revolutionary multiplayer VR system, the HOLOGATE ARENA. Not only is this system a best-selling product, but it also stands as the world’s most successful turnkey multiplayer VR system. Building on the success of the ARENA, the introduction of HOLOGATE BLITZ followed—a motion simulator platform designed for flying, racing, and underwater VR experiences.

Then along came the HOLOGATE TOWER TAG BATTLEZONE which ensures epic, futuristic VR laser tag battles.

The commitment to innovation continued with the latest generation addition, HOLOGATE HYPER GOLF, an incredible fusion of high-tech mini-golf, digital arcade and social gaming experience, featuring nine holes of unique challenges and characters.

Leif Petersen, HOLOGATE CEO and Founder, commented: "This achievement underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of virtual reality and crafting unforgettable adventures. However, it’s more than just our accomplishment; it’s a shared success that reaches far beyond us—to our dedicated owners, operators, partners, and the entire HOLOGATE family. It stands as a testament to our collective resilience, as together we weathered the storm of the past few years and emerged stronger than ever.”

Brent Bushnell, CEO of Two Bit Circus, commented: “HOLOGATE is one of our top VR attractions. It’s reliable, operator friendly, always busy, and people love the experience. It’s worked so well for us we got a second one!”

Stefan Bryxi and Valeria Torchiaro-Steinmeier, Co-Managing Directors at Bavaria Filmstadt, commented: “Most of our visitors are completely new to VR, but their natural curiosity drives them to explore. Our partnership with HOLOGATE introduces our guests to an exciting dimension of entertainment that is both immersive and exhilarating. We are thrilled to provide such an exceptional and unforgettable adventure to our visitors.”

The success of HOLOGATE’s immersive experiences is underpinned by a continually expanding library of exclusive games. From blockbuster IPs like Ghostbusters and Angry Birds to a wide range of adventures catering to kids and adults, first timers and veterans, HOLOGATE delivers experiences that get customers off their couch and returning to venues repeatedly, making mind-blowing memories with friends and family.
