Virtual reality (VR) gaming provides an immersive three-dimensional (3D) environment to users. These games are generally played on standalone systems, specialized game consoles and advanced laptops and personal computers (PCs). They rely on headsets, sensor-equipped gloves and hand controllers to offer realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in an imaginary world.

The escalating demand for interactive and realistic gaming experience among young people represents one of the major factors spurring the VR gaming market growth in the United States. Apart from this, the easy availability of high-tech VR headsets from brands, such as HTC and Oculus, is also bolstering the market growth. Furthermore, the launch of 5G technology is creating lucrative opportunities for market players to improve cloud gaming and offer more exciting and realistic gaming experiences to users. This, along with advancements in motion-capture technology and the introduction of haptic bodysuits, is anticipated to promote VR gaming adoption in the coming years.
