Description

Hologate Arena is a self-contained VR attraction that fits four players in a 17×17-foot footprint. Players wear PCVR headsets and optional bHaptics vests, stand in fixed positions, and play through Hologate’s library of arcade-style games — shooters, escape rooms, co-op missions, and PvP matches. Sessions run 5 minutes per game, and venues can stack multiple games into longer experiences up to 45 minutes.

The system launched in 2017 and is installed in over 400 locations globally. The content library includes 20+ titles, spanning zombie shooters, space battles, and IP-based games like Ghostbusters VR Academy. Gameplay is designed for high throughput — short sessions, quick turnover, spectator monitors for queue engagement. Hologate provides ongoing content updates, and venues can mix and match games to suit their audience.

This is a turnkey product. Hologate handles hardware, software, content distribution, and support. In the US, the system is supported by Hologate directly, Creative Works, and Betson. Operators need an attendant to manage sessions, brief players, and handle equipment between groups. The self-contained design means no external tracking infrastructure — everything runs inside the Arena footprint.

Hologate Arena works for family entertainment centers, arcades, bowling alleys, trampoline parks, and other high-traffic amusement venues where fast session turnover and broad age appeal matter. The game library skews arcade — accessible, repeatable, social. If your business model is built on quick plays and volume, this is the format to evaluate.

Review from Bob Cooney's 2022/2023 VR Arcade Game Buyer's Guide:

Hologate Arena

Hologate launched the VR arcade game market in 2017. They’re in over 400 locations globally. Their 20 titles make up the industry’s most extensive game library. The newest game is Ghostbusters VR Academy, where recruits train to become Ghostbusters, traveling through beautifully rendered haunted environments. I love how Hologate employed their bHaptics vest to simulate when the free-floating apparition passes through you. Players use their Proton Packs to trap ghosts and (spoiler alert) ultimately battle the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
