Metaverse technology startup Improbable is working on infrastructure that can support up to 40,000 players simultaneously occupying the same virtual space.

“We’ve been building a technology which allows us to have up to about 40,000 people in the same virtual space at the same time,” Improbable’s Chief Product Officer Rob Whitehead said at the launch of the Metaverse Society’s “Scaling the Metaverse” report. “They can all see each other, interact with each other, hear each other.”

Whitehead likened the experience to a virtual music festival. “It’s the closest thing I’ve seen to a digital Glastonbury or a digital Coachella,” he said, adding that, “If someone decides to dress up as a cow, you can see them on the other end of the stage, run over to them, and have that serendipitous conversation.”

“One of the areas we’re exploring is these sort of high-density events, as a really unique opportunity. It’s something you can only really get in the real world, right now,” Whitehead noted, adding that he’s been working with sports and music firms on the project.
