The Office Is Getting a VR Game

One of the most popular comedy TV shows is getting another addition to its video game roster. Meta and NBCUniversal debut The Office World, a virtual reality game that transports you directly into Dunder Mifflin's sales department. The title promises the fans of the series a truly immersive experience, and a ton of nods to the show, so you can read on to learn more about the upcoming game.

Meta Debuts The Office World VR

Meta and NBCUniversal teamed up with Magnopus, ARVORE, Albyon, and Monks to recreate the fan-favorite Dunder Mifflin office within a VR game. The title is coming out on October 10, 2024, and will be released on Meta Quest through Meta Horizon.

As you move into the office and choose your own desk, you'll be able to customize it by purchasing office supplies, toys, and trinkets. You can buy these from a vending machine by paying with Schrute Bucks, which is a nod to Dwight's motivation currency in the show. You'll find themed minigames you can kill time with, that were inspired by famous scenes of the show, such as Kevin's Chili, and so many references scattered around the office, such as a stapler trapped in Jell-O.

Surprisingly, this isn't The Office's first video game release. The fan-favorite cringe comedy has another game called The Office: Somehow We Manage, which you can enjoy on mobile.

The Office World gives fans a completely new way to experience the series through the interactive possibilities of virtual reality.
