About Ramen VR

XR + AI are the most fundamental computing shifts of the past century. We're using XR and AI to build products that empower creators of online games and virtual worlds. Meaningful games can change lives, and every game starts with its developers. We believe that game devs can change the world. ‍ We're a team of devs working on solving the hardest problems in game development. We previously built the #1 VR game Zenith: The Last City on Steam and Quest. We've raised $40m+ to date and have been working in stealth on our next game as well as tools that will shape the future of game development.
