Goodbye Horror Lobby 👁🩸

🪓 Say goodbye to the Horror Lobby! No more creepy eyeball staring into your soul and no more gigantic ax threatening to slice you apart. Please reacquaint yourself with our Lobby this month before we put up our holiday decorations.



🍎 Join us for the "One More Thing" Apple event on November 10th at 10AM PT/1PM ET.



🎫 Movie tickets for our events and rentals can be purchased directly on our website at https://bigscreenvr.com.

📃 Please join our 14,000+ member Discord community and drop us any feedback, feature requests, and bug report. We're happy to read about how we can make Bigscreen your go-to VR app.

Where to purchase tickets to Bigscreen events/rentals?

Unfortunately, due to Steam policies, it's no longer possible to purchase movie tickets from inside the VR app.

Fear not: 3D movies are still available in Bigscreen, but you just can't purchase movie tickets inside VR.

In order to purchase movie tickets to our movie events and rentals, please make your purchase from BigscreenVR.com first and then launch Bigscreen in your VR headset.

We’re working on ensuring our servers run smoothly, so please bear with us and reach out to us at [email protected] if you’re not having a good experience.

Don't be afraid to update to version: 0.103.0.7c2a0e-beta-onboarding

UPDATE! Get started with NEW interactive tour + new way to teleport!

Hey everyone!

We added a new interactive tour to help you better understand some of the best features of Bigscreen offers and also teach you how to use some basic tools. For those of you who already use Bigscreen, let us know what you think of this new tour!

New way to teleport! Speaking of basic tools, we made teleporting easier and more intuitive. Similar to other apps, push up on your thumbstick to teleport!

You can watch a recording of the interactive tour here:

However, we highly recommend that you try it out yourself and learn how to use the controls.

Our bite-sized tutorial videos in the Help section have also been updated! You’ll have these videos to teach your friends and family how to use Bigscreen when you show off your VR headset during the holidays.



We've been working hard on development this year, and we can't wait to share more updates. Be sure to follow us on our social media channels and to keep our Discord community's notifications not on mute to know when we make new announcements! We try our best to not serve too much spam!
