KANSAS CITY — FEBRUARY 6, 2025 — LAN Party Technologies, Inc. has today revealed its new virtual communication app LAN Party for Steam. LAN Party offers gamers the ability to build and personalize their own virtual spaces in 3D environments. Designed for PC gamers who miss the thrill of in-person gaming, LAN Party recreates the excitement of traditional gaming get-togethers in fully customizable 3D virtual game rooms.
LAN Party delivers a unique integrated streaming feature, allowing users to stream gameplay or other media directly into their virtual game room. Friends can watch each other’s streams in real-time, creating an interactive and communal experience unlike any other. The app offers gamers the ability to build and personalize their own virtual spaces. From designing floor layouts and selecting wall colors to decorating with digital assets like statues, posters, and virtual screens, the app empowers users to craft their dream gaming environment. Whether it’s a cozy room for a small group or a themed space reflecting their favorite games, gamers can make it their own.
Once inside their custom room, users can invite friends seamlessly using Steam’s integration and experience gaming together like never before. In these rooms, friends can come together just like they would at an in-person LAN party. The app is designed to be used alongside games, allowing users to stream their gameplay or other media, such as YouTube or desktop applications, directly into the room. For example, one friend might stream their Call of Duty match while another streams a different game, with everyone able to watch and interact in real time. The result is an immersive and communal gaming experience where players can hang out, communicate, and share gameplay.
The app includes features such as:
- Customizable Avatars: Import your own 3D avatar or choose from a wide selection in the in-app marketplace. Add emotes and animations to showcase your personality.
- Integrated Streaming: Stream applications from your monitor into your LAN Party room, allowing friends to see your gameplay or other activities in real time. Watch what your friends are playing or doing, just like you would at a traditional LAN party.
- Immersive Gameplay: Enjoy the authentic feel of in-person gaming with virtual desks, monitors, and a shared interactive experience. Whether you’re all playing the same game or doing entirely different activities, LAN Party keeps everyone connected.
- AI-Powered Asset Creation: Use the innovative AI 3D-model generator to create custom digital assets for your room simply by typing a prompt.
“LAN Party is more than just a communication app—it’s a new way to bring friends together in a shared space, no matter where they are,” said Evan Hesse, COO of LAN Party Technologies, Inc. “Our mission is to recreate the magic of LAN parties for the modern gaming community, offering customization and an intimate group experience.”
With its emphasis on small-group interactions, LAN Party stands apart from competitors like Discord. Discord serves large communities in a 2D format, LAN Party is tailored for smaller groups of up to 6 and offers an immersive 3D environment where gamers can connect more personally.
LAN Party will be free to download on Steam, with a premium subscription offering additional features such as larger room capacity, advanced customization options, and exclusive digital assets.
Gamers can look forward to the beta release of LAN Party in Q2 2025.
