Somnium Space

A place built by adults, for adults.

Somnium is an always-online, 18+ Social VR platform built for exploring, creating, performing, and making genuine connections with people from around the world.

Age verification is mandatory and free. No kids. No compromises. Just a social space built for adults.

VR or Desktop. Play Your Way.

Somnium is built around VR, but you don't need a headset to be part of it.

Jump in from desktop and start talking right away with global chat, bubble chat, and a growing collection of social tools designed to make connecting feel effortless.

Put on a headset. Sit at your desk. You're still in Somnium.

Your Avatar. Your Identity.

In Somnium, your avatar is more than a character. It's how you show up.

Bring your own completely custom avatar using our SDK. Discover new public avatars through the in-game tablet. Or change up your look with our wearable system.

Make it yours. Then change it whenever you feel like it.

Emotion Through Movement.

Your body is part of the conversation.

Somnium supports full-body, face, eye, and finger tracking across leading tracking systems, giving you more ways to communicate without saying a word.

And you stay in control.

Fine-tune face tracking blendshapes and expression intensity. Choose exactly what each tracker controls. Adjust tracker positions directly on your avatar.

T-pose. Calibrate. Smile. You're ready.

Meet People by Actually Meeting People.

When you load in, you're not hidden away in some magical place.

Everyone starts in Base Reality, our huge persistent social space. Walk around. See who's there. Hear a conversation. Stop and say hello.

It's simple, spontaneous, and surprisingly close to how meeting people works in real life.

Bringing Real Life Into Virtual Life.

The line between virtual and real doesn't have to be a wall.

Make video calls without leaving Somnium. Message friends through dedicated group chats. Share moments with Glimmr, our in-game social platform where your photos stay inside Somnium.

The world doesn't stop when you take off your headset.

Live Events. Every Day.

There's always something happening.

DJ sets. Concerts. Comedy nights. Open mics. Developer meetups. Community hangouts. And whatever the community comes up with next.

Discover everything through the dedicated Events app and jump in when something catches your eye.

And if you're running an event yourself, our dedicated team is here to help you get it off the ground.

The stage is yours.

Build Your World.

Don't just visit someone else's world. Build your own.

Somnium gives creators a powerful SDK with full C# scripting, letting you create experiences with custom game logic, interactions, networking, and more.

Prototype quickly. Iterate freely. Build something that couldn't exist anywhere else.

You don't have to reinvent the boring stuff. Somnium handles the foundations so you can focus on the idea.

Performance Matters.

Beautiful worlds are better when they stay smooth.

Built on Unity 6 and URP, Somnium is designed to handle busy social spaces without losing the feeling of being there.

See more people. Explore richer worlds. Spend less time waiting.

Fast loading. Smooth performance. More world.

A Community That Creates.

The best part of Somnium isn't what we built.

It's what people build with it.

Maybe you've made a terrifying horror game and you're waiting for the screams. Maybe you've created a quiet world where people come to unwind. Maybe you've built the next hit sleeping world.

Whatever you're making, there's a community ready to experience it.

And when you need a hand, inspiration, or simply someone to talk to, the Somnium team and community are never far away.

Make something. Share it. See what happens.
