Launching in late 2022 Oorbit has developed the only infrastructure that unites metaverse experiences and worlds into one place, removing barriers to entry. The Oorbit platform empowers players to experience high quality games, events, interactive media, marketplaces, and more from best-in-class content partners. With more details to come, Oorbit will be accessible in one easy-to-navigate platform on the types of screens users already own.

“As the metaverse moves from our imaginations into actual entertainment, experiences and products, Oorbit’s founders have created an innovative platform where developers, publishers and brands can create and more easily deliver their most compelling work,” says Mark Cuban, investor and entrepreneur. “Best of all, and core to their plan, Oorbit has put the user at the center of their technology so they enable games and even worlds that will delight all comers, and blaze a path for metaverse growth overall.”
