Resolution Games is a VR development studio based in Stockholm known for creating immersive and social gameplay experiences. Founded by industry veterans, the studio has been working on Racket Club, a VR racquet sports game designed to combine competitive play with social interaction, for over two years. The game brings together athletic competition and community-building in a way that sets it apart from other titles in the genre. By integrating AccelByte’s backend infrastructure, Resolution Games achieved the highest retention rates in its history with Racket Club, setting a new standard for player engagement.
Racket Club merges competitive gameplay with rich social features, offering players a unique blend of fast-paced action and interaction. Players can participate in intense matches while building connections in private sessions or by spectating ongoing games. The game has already garnered significant attention in the VR space for its engaging social experience and high levels of game retention.
“One of the key challenges we faced was building a seamless multiplayer game backend to support social interactions and competitive gameplay,”
