As the tradition keeps going, the number of concurrent users keeps growing during winter holidays, and this time VRChat became a hosting platform to an event with over 89 300 people at the same time.

As always, the busiest night of the year for VRChat was New Year’s Eve, due to which the servers used to have technical issues between December 31st and January 1st. However, this time, developers came prepared and made sure to provide players with the most stable VRChat experience on a New Year’s Eve since 2016.

Although this time the platform didn’t hit 100,000 concurrent users, the developers seem to be aiming at 150,000 as one of their primary goals, alongside the alpha launch of a classified feature, in 2022.
