VRChat just launched an exciting new Avatar Marketplace that’s set to change how virtual fashion creators share and sell their work. This new in-app store lets users browse, try on, and buy avatars — all without ever leaving VRChat itself.
A spokesperson from VRChat shared that the Marketplace isn’t just about giving creators another way to make money; it also makes it way easier for users to find the perfect avatar quickly and hassle-free.
One of the coolest parts? Users can try on avatars in a private space before they buy. That way, you get a real feel for how an avatar looks and moves with your style before committing.
At launch, the Marketplace will feature a select group of sellers, including some well-known characters like Quill — the adorable mouse from the Moss VR games. This is just the start, with more creators expected to join soon.
Creators have told VRChat how overwhelming it can be to support users who aren’t familiar with uploading or customizing avatars. The new system aims to cut down on that stress, freeing creators up to focus on designing great avatars instead of troubleshooting every question.
If you’re a VR fashion designer or avatar creator, this is a great moment to get involved. VRChat and the community want to hear your thoughts and experiences as this new platform grows.
Overall, the Avatar Marketplace is a big win for both creators and users — making avatar shopping simpler, more fun, and opening up new opportunities for virtual fashion artists everywhere.
