What Avrlon does

Avrlon is a Berlin-based, privately held virtual reality gaming studio founded in 2016. The company develops immersive VR experiences and games aimed at general consumers — described internally as "VR Enthusiasts and Gamers" — with an explicit emphasis on realism in virtual environments and on social interaction within those environments. Its product portfolio is anchored on VR games and VR social experiences, with no other product categories, services, or platforms disclosed in the available data.

The company is led by a small three-person core team. Marcelo Carvalho (Founder) brings prior investment banking and games-industry experience. David Gattig is credited with previously managing Empire: Four Kingdoms, identified as the most successful German mobile app. Dr. Thiago Junqueira, the Lead Developer, spent six years as an astrophysicist working on galaxy-formation simulations, and the company frames this background as central to its realism-oriented technical approach. The team page states an active hiring push for VR talent, consistent with the 11–50 employee range reported in firmographics.

The revenue model, go-to-market, distribution, and pricing details are not publicly disclosed. There is no evidence of institutional funding, named customers, distribution partnerships, awards, patents, or platform storefront listings. The public-facing presence is limited to a low-fidelity WordPress website with a contact form and a Berlin-listed address, leaving the commercial model, monetization mechanics, and target platforms (PC VR, Meta Quest, PlayStation VR, etc.) unstated.

Broad incumbents

• Meta Reality Labs (first-party VR games): Meta's first-party VR gaming organization (which owns Beat Games, BigBox VR, Within, Ready at Dawn, and others) is the dominant platform-incumbent publisher of VR games for the Quest Store. It is a broad incumbent peer: a vertically integrated competitor that controls both the platform and competing first-party content.
• Ready at Dawn: Ready at Dawn (Lone Echo, Echo VR) was acquired by Meta in 2020 and operates as a first-party VR studio within Reality Labs. It is a broad incumbent peer: a much larger, platform-owned VR game developer operating in the same immersive-VR-games category, but with effectively unlimited Meta backing.

It is a direct peer: a VR-first studio whose product ethos (high-fidelity, immersive single-player VR) closely matches Avrlon's stated 'most realistic VR experiences' positioning.
• Resolution Games: Resolution Games is a Stockholm-based VR/AR game studio that develops multiplayer and social VR titles across Meta Quest, SteamVR, and other platforms. It is a direct peer: a venture-backed European VR-native studio of similar vintage to Avrlon, targeting immersive social/gaming experiences in the same headset ecosystem.
