Sex and games are the biggest drivers of VR revenues

Games and sex are the biggest drivers of revenue for the fledgling virtual reality industry, according to an analysis released by sex app company SexLikeReal. How did we all already know that?

SexLikeReal said it analyzed the July 6 leak on Steam games as well as its own data on sex revenues to come up with the analysis. It found that 481 VR games released since 2016 have generated $50 million in sales, and it found that 6,000 VR videos released to date have also generated about $50 million in revenues. If you add revenues from PlayStation VR and Oculus Home, game VR revenues top $130 million.
