history

When BigBox VR founders Gabe Brown and Chia Chin first encountered VR in 2015, they knew that the world of gaming was about to change, and that they had to be a part of it. They began building Smashbox Arena as a way to explore spaces together.  They added multiplayer support, then started running around shooting each other.

Now, years later, Smashbox Arena has been released on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, and is coming soon to PlayStation VR.

Since launch, Smashbox Arena players have logged over 43,000 hours of gameplay, more than 2 million knockouts and even set records at VR arcades as the #1 played game with close to 1,000 hours a month of gameplay. Already one of the top 5 highest rated VR multiplayer games, Smashbox Arena also boasts one of the most fun, fast learning and competitive communities in VR.
