Acute XR is a video game development studio that creates games for impactful purposes. While most game studios focus on the entertainment market and see their own artistic vision as the purpose of their work, Acute XR channels that same creative talent into games that can help people, i.e. by acting as therapeutic tools that support medical professionals in serving their patients.
Acute XR was officially founded in 2024, though work on its earliest game Conquer Catharsis began as early as 2018. What sets Acute XR apart from its competition is the “game design first” approach to building therapeutic tools. The core team includes medical professionals with extensive experience in virtual therapeutic research. Their work is the foundation of our products. Building on them, our team of game developers create fun and immersive games that focus primarily on the patient experience. Medicine no longer has to be bitter to work, and we want patients to experience games that make them not only glad they are going to therapy, but genuinely look forward to each session.
