ROAR is a metaverse for musicians of all ages, levels, and tastes to play, perform, record, and share their music. Players plug any instrument or microphone into a PC and play music as their in-game avatar with other players worldwide in real-time. In each player’s virtual Studio, players can practice and play solo, invite in other players to jam in real-time, form bands, perform live for friends or the public, and record and share their music.

Additionally, you’ll be part of a small, but extremely passionate team of creatives and partner closely with our player experience team to ensure the end-to-end ROAR experience is frictionless and inspirational for our players.
