It is with both gratitude and heavy hearts that we announce the shutdown of the Flipside virtual reality app on November 21th, 2025.
From the very beginning, our vision was to create a new kind of social experience — one where connection through creativity and performance could thrive in virtual space. What made Flipside truly special wasn’t just the technology, but the incredible community of users who brought it to life. Your dedication, creativity, and belief in what we were building have inspired us every step of the way.
Our team poured passion and imagination into Flipside, working tirelessly to make the metaverse a place where art and human connection could shine. Together, we pushed the boundaries of what social VR could be, and we are so proud of everything we accomplished together.
From early shows like Earth From Up Here with Jordan Cerminara and Pixels with Stephen Sim and Caity Curtis, to Live From the 8th Dimension with Caffeine.tv and The Galaxicle Implosions with FANDCO, and so many more, your creativity truly pioneered the first generation of immersive entertainment and showed the world what was possible. Far beyond what we ourselves had originally envisioned.
We tried to keep this vision alive for as long as we could in a challenging emerging market. While this chapter is coming to an end, we remain convinced that the world needs a platform like Flipside — a space where people can create, perform, and connect in new and meaningful ways. The future of virtual entertainment is still unwritten, and we believe social metaverse platforms centered around creativity will play an important role in continuing to shape it.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Flipside could not have existed without you, and we’re deeply grateful for every performance, every collaboration, and every moment you shared with us in our world.
With gratitude,
The Flipside Team
