Our take
The popularity of virtual worlds is on the rise, with immersive gaming and social experiences more accessible than ever. As the parent company of Highrise and Everkskies, Pocket Worlds designs and builds metaverse communities to bring people together in new ways.
Through Highrise, it offers a virtual world where people make avatars and create relationships. Impressively, this has now amassed over 40 million users. The company's 2021 acquisition of Everskies, a pixel doll community, added a new world to its offering.
Moving forwards, Pocket Worlds has continued to launch new capabilities to serve its users. For example, Highrise Studio and Highrise 4.0 were introduced to make it easier for creators to build and monetize virtual experiences.
