IS IT WORTH LAUNCHING A VR ARENA IN 2026?

The year 2026 has brought significant changes for entrepreneurs. Changes to tax legislation, reduced limits on the tax code and patents, and new rules for calculating total income all require a more balanced approach when choosing a business model. Small and medium-sized businesses are entering a time when it is essential to pay attention to the economic aspects of their projects and choose a reliable and sustainable format.

Given this context, it is logical to ask, 'Is it profitable to launch a virtual reality franchise arena?' The answer, in short, is yes. However, there is one condition: the chosen business model must meet certain criteria. It should be flexible, manageable, capable of adapting to change, have a transparent financial structure, and have an understandable expense system.

An entrepreneur needs to see the investment structure ahead of time, minimise constant mandatory payments, predict workload, and have constant support from a franchise. These are precisely what WARSTATION provides.

Absence of classic franchise fees

One of the main advantages of WARSTATION is that we do not charge royalties, lump sums, or mandatory subscriptions. There is only a per-minute billing system that makes financial planning easy and straightforward. You only pay for the gaming time, and minutes are deducted only when customers play. The more minutes you purchase, the lower the cost per one minute.

This makes the financial model flexible and manageable. During periods of changes in tax regulations, such transparency is especially important: you can plan your work and expenses yourself based on real indicators of your business, rather than adjusting to fixed obligations.

Fast payback and clear investment options

We offer four business formats to invest in depending on the venue:

• Mini club – from 60 m², investment from $19,500.
• VR club – from 200 m², investment from $32,500.
• VR arena – from 400 m², investment from $45,500.
• VR park – from 700 m², investment from $65,000.

This variety allows you to find the perfect option that suits your goals and budget. The average payback period for our clubs is between 6 and 12 months, with an average profitability of 40-60%.

High-quality product

We are proud to say that our games have been rated by more than 1 million players worldwide. As a partner, you will receive a package of 5 collections of VR games across different genres, from adult team shooters to children's games, as well as access to all future updates and improvements.

The games are suitable for various events, such as birthdays, corporate parties, and family gatherings. Holidays and organized events are the main source of income, as they are rather profitable and ensure stable bookings.

Regular content development ensures that the club remains competitive and interesting to guests. In 2026, we will add two new games to our library – Zombie Titan and Save the Far-Far Away Kingdom – which will expand the target audience and provide new event scenarios. All updates are provided to partners absolutely free of charge, without additional fees or hidden conditions.

Customer support

Support is crucial when working with a franchise, and we at WARSTATION understand this. We provide comprehensive support, including design materials, ready-made content for social media, and a custom-built website for each club on Tilda.

Marketing materials and templates, recommendations for selecting and adapting premises, instructions for starting and organising processes, a personal account with game statistics, regular updates on game content, free technical support, and quick installation and configuration of equipment – these are all features of the WARSTATION franchise.

The franchise can be launched in 1 day, and the game space can be set up in a couple of hours.

The bottom line is, is it worth starting a VR business in 2026?
