Rezzil Partnership Brings Realism to VR
Football fans will soon be able to experience the Premier League in a whole new way with Premier League Player, the league’s first officially licensed virtual reality (VR) game. Set to launch exclusively on Meta Quest platforms later this year, the game brings fans from their living rooms onto the pitch, offering an immersive experience in some of the league’s most iconic stadiums.
Created in partnership with Rezzil, a leader in VR sports training, Premier League Player allows users to actively participate in key moments from the 2023-2024 season. Using Rezzil’s exar.live engine, the game recreates each pass, goal, and play with precision, giving players the chance to feel like they’re part of the action.
Introducing Moments: Relive and Play Key Highlights
One of the most anticipated features is Moments, which allows players to relive and interact with highlights from the season. Instead of just watching replays, fans will be able to jump into these moments and make decisive plays themselves. Whether it’s scoring the winning goal or pulling off a crucial save, Premier League Player aims to blur the line between fan and player.
The game features all 20 Premier League teams with official kits and realistic stadiums, and uses real-time data to replicate player movements and tactics. Rezzil’s advanced tracking technology ensures that every match feels dynamic, with AI-driven players responding just like their real-life counterparts.
Rezzil co-founder Andy Etches says Premier League Player is designed to transport fans onto the pitch. In addition to entertainment, the game uses Rezzil’s sports training technology to offer a professional-level experience. More details on gameplay features and modes are expected in the coming months.
As VR continues to expand into sports, Premier League Player is an important step in bringing fans closer to the action. With its Meta Quest exclusivity and innovative use of VR, the game signals a new era in fan engagement, offering a fresh way to connect with the world’s most popular football league.
