About
CMVR Game Studios LLC
CMVR Game Studios LLC is an indie game studio based in the United States. Formed from the small VR streaming channel CMVR, it is a relatively new studio to the VR production space. At CMVR Game Studios LLC, it is a core belief that VR is the future of all entertainment, and we are doing our part to make that a reality. Many legendary PC games have proven that video games are an unmatched form of media. With the immersive capabilities of VR, we are striving to bring such perfection to a level never achieved before.
DOWNSHOT was the first game released by CMVR Game Studios LLC. With no funding and limited assets, the game was initially only released on the App Lab platform. It has experienced relatively huge success that will propel the game and its studio into the foreseeable future.
Thank you for everyone's support that has enabled our studio to get where it is today! I can't wait to see how much it continues to grow!
