Will a global entertainment franchise shift fully to VR-first releases by 2029?

The VR-First Era Approaches

Virtual reality has been circling the mainstream like a ship waiting for calm waters. Hardware advances are finally smoothing the seas: lighter headsets, sharper displays, and richer sensory layers.

But VR-first releases require a franchise bold enough to risk alienating traditional audiences. Not many would gamble primary revenue streams on an emerging ecosystem, no matter how promising.

My prediction: A daring franchise pivots to VR-first by 2029, not for every release but for a flagship title that sets an industry precedent.
