🎁 Bigscreen Holiday UPDATE: NEW Drive-In Theater

The long-awaited and highly requested DRIVE-IN THEATER is now available in Bigscreen! Now you can enjoy this nostalgic new environment from the comfort of your home!

Our menu also got a huge makeover! The new menu gives you an overview of everything you can do in Bigscreen:

The new scrollable interface and content categories make it easier to discover interesting rooms to join and videos to watch.

We added over 60 new TV channels including major crime-drama series such as Narcos and hilarious game shows like Wipeout!

We’re also launching a new TV category called To Infinity and Beyond dedicated to livestreams of rocket launches. If you miss a SpaceX rocket launch, you might catch a rerun in these channels! 

We used to support 8 users per lobby, and our new beefy servers allow 12 users per lobby! Next year, we plan to increase the room size limits for all user-created rooms as well! Imagine creating a 25 or 50-person room for a meetup or conference!

As a reminder, Oculus no longer supports the Oculus Go. Oculus does not allow Bigscreen to release any updates for the Oculus Go, so unfortunately, we are no longer able to provide any future support to this headset. Oculus Go users may still be able to use certain features on the old server, but we will shut down those servers in the coming weeks.

Next year, we’re working really hard to push out a friends system, new avatars, new environments, major improvements to our video streaming, a new ultra-low latency Remote Desktop feature, and more! Porting our app to PlayStation and Mac is also on the roadmap, but it takes a lot of work and we’ll need more time.

Thank you all for using Bigscreen and supporting us with your movie ticket purchases! Unfortunately due to COVID, our negotiations with movie studios have also been delayed. We’re working hard on obtaining more 3D movies and licensing movies in more countries like the UK and Europe. Your ongoing support is highly appreciated!

P.S. here’s a sneak peek of one of the costumes we’re adding to our new avatars!!

Bigscreen supports all major VR headsets, including Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Valve Index, Windows Mixed Reality, and more! You can download Bigscreen Beta for free from the Oculus Store (PC, Quest) or Steam.
