Fishing Star VR Now Available for Daydream in North America

Fishing Star, published by GREE, was the world's first mobile social game. Having been launched on services for feature phones such as i-mode, which were the forerunners of the mobile internet, Fishing Star celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.

Fishing Star VR is a VR fishing game for Daydream, Google's platform for high quality mobile virtual reality, with multiplayer capability that allows up to six people to play together at once. It was developed to commemorate Fishing Star's 10th anniversary. Now, distribution of Fishing Star VR has begun in North America, bringing the game's pioneering features to the market in which consumer VR has made the deepest inroads.
