• Beat Games: Czech developer of Beat Saber, the defining VR rhythm title. Meta-owned, but directly comparable as a Central European indie VR studio that achieved category-defining scale on Quest.
• Owlchemy Labs: Austin-based VR studio behind Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator. Google/Alphabet-owned, but comparable as a multi-title VR studio with breakthrough sim IPs and platform featured placement.
• Fast Travel Games: Stockholm-based VR studio focused on immersive sim and exploration titles (Cities VR, Apex Construct, Wraith: The Oblivion). Comparable in size and genre orientation to 3R Games' exploration/simulation VR portfolio.
