Virtual Matter Worlds is where you play the living, multiplayer voxel worlds people make with Virtual Matter. Every world runs live on Virtual Matter servers, so there is nothing to download per world and nothing to set up. Tap a link someone shared, or pick a featured world in the app, and you are in, together with everyone else who is there. All for FREE. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Play featured worlds for free: arenas, shooters, idle strategy, dreamlike places and more. - Open any world link: links to Virtual Matter worlds open straight into the app, or paste a copied link on the connect screen. - Play together: every world is multiplayer from the start. Share its link and your friends land in the same place. - Reshape the world: voxel worlds you can blast, dig and build in. - No account needed to play featured and shared worlds. MAKE YOUR OWN Describe a world at virtualmatter.ai and an AI agent builds it for you, live, while you watch. Makers with their own coding agent, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, can build with the virtualmatter command line too. Every world has a link you can share the moment it exists, and it plays in this app, in any browser and on desktop. WHY THE APP Worlds also run in the browser with no install. The app runs the same worlds with more memory and smoother frame rates on your device.
