Decentraland, the first decentralized virtual social world, launched a powerful new desktop client today, signaling a new era for experiencing spatial environments. This beta release enhances performance, delivers a more immersive environment, and introduces new engaging features, setting the stage for future innovations and expanded creator tools.
This milestone marks the shift away from a browser-based experience, replaced by a more stable, Unity-powered desktop client and the new Creator Hub, aligning with Decentraland’s vision for an interconnected metaverse.
“Today marks a new chapter for Decentraland. As virtual worlds take on a larger role in digital life, Decentraland is committed to creating a virtual world where people, not corporations, own their digital lives. Traditional platforms view their users as products while limiting real ownership, but Decentraland flips this script, using decentralization to empower its users,” said Yemel Jardi, Executive Director of the Decentraland Foundation. “As the internet transforms into a more immersive, spatial experience, Decentraland is leading the movement to creating a space that champions social connection, creativity, and autonomy—transcending cultures and backgrounds. This next chapter is about unlocking the true potential of the open metaverse, ensuring that as the digital world grows, it remains user-driven, community-focused, and grounded in open standards.”

“This upgraded desktop client transforms how people experience Decentraland,” said Kim Currier, Head of Partnerships and Marketing at Decentraland. “For our community, it’s about more than just faster load times and smoother interactions—it’s about creating a beautiful, vibrant space where people can genuinely connect and form new friendships from across the globe. With this release, we are also introducing the new Creator Hub, an all-in-one platform where creators can learn and build. It also provides businesses with opportunities to engage their audiences more effectively by using virtual spaces to create experiences that encourage active participation.
