About Trass Games
Summary
Trass Games builds Yeeps, a free-to-play social VR game on Meta Quest where players create and share user-generated content in the style of sandbox titles like Minecraft and Roblox. The studio is expanding Yeeps from a hide-and-seek game into a full UGC platform, replacing the PC and mobile sandbox experience with a VR-native equivalent. The work it displaces is the flat-screen, controller-based creative multiplayer session.
Business model
Free to play with optional in-app purchases of in-game currency and cosmetic bundles, plus physical merchandise sold direct-to-consumer.
Go-to-market
Players download Yeeps at no cost directly through the Meta Quest store, putting the game in front of the Quest headset's existing user base without a sales motion.
