Everytime a 3D Vtuber does a debut with some crazy high fidelity tracking, i prepare myself to temper expectations towards people with questions because the price tags are absolutely massive 😌 Mostly not average consumer friendly.

new MAGfest core memory: a girl opens her purse on the table next to the VRC portal:

A Pink Whitney bottle falls out and she curses. A Pink Whitney bottle falls out and she curses. A Pink Whitney bottle falls out and she curses. A Pink Whitney bottle falls out and she curses. A Pink Whitney bottle

Are you at #MAGfest? have nothing to do around in about an hour and a half (noon ET)?

Come to the "Inside the VRChat Community (Team)" panel! listen to us yap! ask random questions!

go between the staircases past the VRChat portal, 3rd room on the right.

somehow managed to go to CES yesterday on 4 hours of sleep, not get sick, work on like 4 major documents today (OH GOD THERE'S ANOTHER ONE I FORGOT ABOUT), completely rebuild my girlfriend's PC, clean the house, pack for mag, and I am exhausted

But what if I read manga in bed until 3am

120.8k at 6PM... this is ahead of the NYE numbers at this same time.

VRC CCU has a huge opportunity to do something hilarious

Also, apparently, for a period of time, we were within the top 10 of Steam games based on player count. 😅

Happy New Year, MT!

That looks like it'll probably be our new CCU peak, we're at negative CCU delta for the past hour.

*Our new CCU ATH is 148,886, set during US CT (UTC-6)!*

Fully stable throughout. Big kudos to my #VRChat teammates and all of our service providers.

Stick around for PT NYE!
ET peaked at 147,226, but we're climbing even more!

10 minutes to go for CT!
January 1, 2026 at 7:02 AM
We've beat #VRChat's previous all-time high CCU at 136,744, and we've still got 50 minutes until US East coast NYE. Let's go!
January 1, 2026 at 4:11 AM
here's the number to beat folks
ah I suppose I forgot to make this post (I was otherwise occupied)

#VRChat hit a new record last night of 136,589 users simultaneously online at the same time! This record was set right at US Central Time NYE -- a change from previous years, which usually set records at EST NYE.
January 1, 2026 at 3:14 AM
euan stated our new record was about 433
bwahahaha

~150K ringing in the New Year together in @vrchat.com

The scale is absurd.

I’m seeing estimates of 1 million people crowding Times Square and crushing midtown Manhattan to a standstill for the holiday.

Or simply slip on a ski goggle.
our internal guess spreadsheet has a range of 144k to 200k 😅

my personal guess is 163k and some change, based on recent patterns and YoY boosts. There's some wrinkles baked into that guess

alrighty, nye stream obs totally automated and running in some ec2 instance. it'll start to the second

hell of an improvement over "streaming to 100k people from a spare laptop in my apartment"
