The funding was led by Outsized Ventures and Underline Ventures, with significant contributions from SOSV and several angel investors. These funds are earmarked for the development and publication of innovative mixed reality (MR) games designed to captivate and engage a mainstream audience. ## Pioneering the MR Gaming Industry Founded by industry veterans Bobby Voicu, David Pripas, and Andrei Vaduva—who previously collaborated at MavenHut Games—MixRift is leveraging the collective expertise of its team to push the boundaries of MR gaming. The studio has already brought two titles to market: *Fractured* and *Hell Horde*. The latter is currently in beta and both games are available on platforms such as the Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro. ## Focused on Casual and Engaging Experiences MixRift's strategy involves the rapid prototyping of MR games aimed at casual players. This approach helps the company quickly iterate and discover what gaming experiences resonate best with users. CEO Bobby Voicu has expressed his belief in the revolutionary potential of MR over traditional VR, foreseeing a future where MR devices become significant computing platforms. The ultimate goal is to create engaging and intuitive gaming experiences that can be easily adopted by a broad audience. ## Future Prospects With the new funding, MixRift plans to intensify its efforts in game development, ensuring a pipeline of high-quality MR games slated for release in the coming year. Their commitment to pioneering mixed reality technology positions them as a standout player in the gaming industry, aiming to bridge the gap between immersive experiences and mainstream accessibility. For fans and investors alike, MixRift is a company to watch as it continues to innovate and expand the possibilities of mixed reality gaming. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#startup](https://daily.dev/tags/startup), [#venture-capital](https://daily.dev/tags/venture-capital), [#gaming](https://daily.dev/tags/gaming), [#vr](https://daily.dev/tags/vr), [#ar](https://daily.dev/tags/ar) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/mixrift-secures-1-6m-to-develop-mixed-reality-games-j5asoge1r) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"MixRift Secures $1.6M to Develop Mixed Reality Games","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/mixrift-secures-1-6m-to-develop-mixed-reality-games-j5asoge1r","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/mixrift-secures-1-6m-to-develop-mixed-reality-games-j5asoge1r"},"datePublished":"2024-08-07T07:03:14.073Z","dateModified":"2024-08-07T07:03:25.907Z","description":"MixRift, a startup in the mixed reality gaming sector, raised $1.6 million in pre-seed funding led by Outsized Ventures and Underline Ventures.
