Competitive Landscape of Virtual Reality Game Engines Market

In the virtual reality game engine market, Supplier Bargaining Power is moderate. While major players like Unity and Unreal Engine dominate, there's a growing number of alternative engines and tools available. This diversification limits any single supplier's ability to exert excessive influence on pricing or terms. Additionally, open-source options and community-driven development initiatives provide developers with alternatives. However, established engines still hold sway due to their extensive features and support networks, giving them some bargaining power. Overall, the market's competitive landscape and the availability of alternatives mitigate the potential for suppliers to exert undue control. 

May 2021: HTC VIVE introduced two new headsets: the HTC Vive Pro 2, which connects to a computer, and the standalone HTC Vive Focus 3. The company's new product launch is aimed squarely at expanding the market for immersive technologies.
