MGverse is the name of the brand-new metaverse platform from auto original equipment manufacturer (OEM) MG Motor and it was created to provide immersive experiences for customers and stakeholders alike. The virtual hub provides multiple experience centers for working, playing, collaborating, socializing and shopping. In the Creator’s Center, for example, users will have the chance to personalize and accessorize an MG vehicle in the metaverse. Additionally, users can take their virtual wheels for a test drive in the city and streets of their choosing.
To support the NFTs launched late last year, MG Motor is also introducing an NFT Gallery so that non-fungible tokens can be seen, appreciated, created and earned.
Alongside many virtual activities, this phygital hub also lets users interact with the real world, such as by booking an MG car.
