30 October 2024 — Eggscape, the ultimate multiplayer mixed reality playground, has been named a standout winner in the Extended Reality (AR & VR) category for the 2025 Game Changers, presented by venture capital firm Lightspeed and GamesBeat. In its second year, this annual awards program celebrates the most innovative startups in the gaming and interactive media industries. Eggscape was selected as one of five standout category winners of the 25 total Game Changers, selected out of a pool of 1,300 applicants.
Created by Eggscape Entertainment, Eggscape transforms players' homes into an immersive universe where digital eggs race, battle, build new spaces, and fight for survival. Players, represented as fragile egg characters, navigate diverse game modes—creativity, exploration, racing, and battle—each offering fresh challenges in the evolving "Eggverse."
"We're thrilled to be recognized by Lightspeed and GamesBeat as a leader in XR innovation," said German Heller, CEO and Co-founder of Eggscape Entertainment. "There is immense talent in this space right now and this award is a testament to our team’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in immersive experiences."
Presented at GamesBeat NEXT Summit, Game Changers aims to accelerate the growth of extraordinary startups in the gaming space. Winners receive access to the exclusive Game Changers community, and 1:1 mentoring and interactions with industry leaders across gaming, technology, and media. This year’s theme celebrates resilience and adaptation, placing emphasis on ideas and strategies that demonstrate ability to withstand the challenges while innovating.
In addition to Extended Reality, Game Changers featured categories such as 3D Technology & Infrastructure, Generative AI, Game Studios & UGC and Interactive Media Platforms. Judges included a panel of C-level executives and senior-level operators from brands like Xbox, TikTok, Unity, Amazon, ByteDance, Disney and more.
Eggscape will launch in early access on the Meta Quest Store later this year. For more information about Eggscape, please visit https://www.eggscape.com/ or join the Discord and follow on TikTok.
