Wooster Games

Wooster Games is an American game development studio and autonomous subsidiary of Spatial Systems, Inc. The studio develops and publishes social-first multiplayer experiences built around emergent play, rapid iteration and creator-led community engagement across virtual reality, PC, mobile and console platforms.

Its debut title, Animal Company, began as a five-week prototype and evolved into a chaotic, physics-driven multiplayer VR survival adventure. Designed for social play and audience participation, the game combines movement-focused mechanics, sandbox-style encounters and live-service updates. Wooster Games has expanded the title to SteamVR and PC while continuing to develop additional multi-platform projects.

Development approach

The studio operates as a lean team that prototypes quickly, releases frequent updates and uses player feedback to shape ongoing development. Its capabilities include:

• VR and XR game development
• Social sandbox, party-game and physics-driven multiplayer design
• Multi-platform optimisation for Meta Quest, SteamVR, PC, mobile and console
• Stylised 3D art direction, shader work and low-poly asset optimisation
• Scalable multiplayer backend infrastructure and live-operations support

Wooster Games built Animal Company through a community-first model rather than paid marketing. Early gameplay clips, an open-development Discord community and creator resources helped players participate in the game’s growth and share their own content.

Games and publishing

Alongside Animal Company, Wooster Games has published Blade City, a free-to-play multiplayer action, platformer and party-fighting title for Meta Quest. It also released Animal Company Companion, an iOS application that lets players and creators control third-person spectator cameras during VR gameplay.

The studio also runs the Wooster Games Fund, providing development funding and mentorship for promising independent VR developers. Its work draws on Spatial’s real-time 3D multiplayer background while focusing its own output on original game intellectual property and live, socially driven player experiences.
