What is the MINIverse?

The MINIverse is a virtual MINI experience and metaverse racing game that gives our community the thrill of customizing and racing a MINI with others in a whole new way. Upon entering the MINIverse, players can engage with friends and select their own unique MINI car for competitive head-to-head VR racing.
