Unity VR Multiplayer : Games & Metaverse

Creating a smooth, cross-platform multiplayer experience in virtual reality can feel overwhelming—especially when you need rock-solid voice chat, realistic hand interactions and avatars that truly represent your players. This practical masterclass guides you step-by-step through building those features in Unity 6 LTS, powered by the lightning-fast Normcore 2 realtime networking stack, the latest Unity XR & Meta XR SDK for Quest 2/3/Pro, plus industry-standard tools like Ready Player Me, Final IK, Meta Avatars and the XR Interaction Toolkit. What we cover - Multiplayer foundations – Compare leading SDKs, weigh pros and cons, and architect authoritative versus client-hosted setups. - Hands-on Unity XR workflow – Configure input and locomotion, rig full-body avatars with Ready Player Me, and add immersive physics-based grabbing. - Voice & data synchronisation – Integrate Normcore’s built-in spatial voice chat and networked variables for latency-free gameplay. - Meta XR ecosystem – Deploy to Quest in minutes, enable Meta Avatars for cross-app identity, and tap platform social features. - Best-practice polish – Optimise bandwidth, profile server costs, implement lobby/room flows, and add persistence for live Metaverse spaces. By the end, you’ll have a reusable template scene that supports grab interactions, proximity voice, cross-device play and cloud scaling—ready to slot into your own VR game or enterprise collaboration app. No prior multiplayer experience is required—just comfortable C# scripting and basic Unity knowledge.
