addedOur team has been busy these last few months working on a replacement for the hub we have had since release. We are happy to announce it is now out and is the new default area you load into upon launching VRChat! The old hub is still available to visit as a regular room, but for now we want to describe some of the amazing features that the new Hub is filled with. We also want to thank all of the community who helped test out the new Hub prior to release. Let's break down each section of the new Hub.
changedThe Hub EntranceWhile users now spawn all over the Hub, you can still visit the entrance via convenient travel maps in each section. The entrance has two bulletin boards with up to date information on what to expect in future patches, as well as a friendly reminder to well, be friendly.
addedTravel MapsThe new Hub is much larger than the old one, which is why we have included travel maps in each section. You can see where everyone is at any time by looking at the dots on the map. Feel free to also teleport quickly around the Hub by clicking on each area on the mini map.
addedHelp AreaOur new help area has informative signs to help new users out, as well as a portal to our new "Help Videos" area. Here you will be able to watch tutorial videos on using VRChat. We have also provided never-ending food to satiate your virtual hunger along with anti-gravity pickup objects.
changedAvatar HallOur Avatar Hall was made to highlight community created avatars as well as direct users towards useful ways to make their own custom avatars. We frequently update it with a different community avatar spotlight, along with information on how to get in touch with the creator. Also highlighted is our partner Morph3d, an easy way to bring in custom avatars into Social VR with no skill required. You can try out their beta at https://morphid.com/ . Our Avatar Hall also carries on the tradition of the mirror room, an always popular spot in VRChat hubs.
addedEvent HallOne of our goals with the new Hub is to make it easier for players to find the community events that are happening all the time in VRChat. Approved events are displayed in spectacular fashion with our Event Hall. During the event, the Hub pylons will activate and a giant beam will be visible from all areas of the hub. There are also signs with our calendar of events, and the 4 most active rooms are shown here, so you always will know where the action is happening.

The Hub Entrance

While users now spawn all over the Hub, you can still visit the entrance via convenient travel maps in each section. The entrance has two bulletin boards with up to date information on what to expect in future patches, as well as a friendly reminder to well, be friendly.

Travel Maps

The new Hub is much larger than the old one, which is why we have included travel maps in each section. You can see where everyone is at any time by looking at the dots on the map. Feel free to also teleport quickly around the Hub by clicking on each area on the mini map.

We have countless great worlds in VRChat. Some of our top user created content will be featured here and changed every few weeks. If you have a creation you think qualifies, just keep making great worlds and make sure to request to make them public. The VRChat team is always exploring new areas and keeping an eye out for potential future featured worlds.

New Worlds

Finding a new world in VRChat is now easier than ever. Our New Worlds section contains a constantly changing set of portals that update right as new
