A scoring trend
These partnerships highlight the growing trend of sponsorships and crossovers between real-world car brands and mobile games. Bugatti Rimac recently brought the Rimac Nevera into PUBG: New State and McLaren’s cars have already appeared in multiple games this year.
The McLaren MCL36 was the first F1 car to have been revealed in the metaverse via Roblox, and since then the McLaren 765LT has been added to New State Mobile in collaboration with the game’s March update.
The trend of non-gaming brands entering the market is continuing to propel in realms outside of cars as well, such as the retail brand Forever 21 launching in Roblox with its real-world clothing collections being added to the metaverse’s stores. In Forever 21 Shop City, the latest clothing releases are made available for purchase for players’ avatars.
