Our take on Premium Bowling
Lane oil changes through wear during a game, making the playing surface itself shift as sessions progress.
What is Premium Bowling?
Premium Bowling is a bowling game playable in VR or on a monitor.
Players can pass the headset for local play or bowl online with people worldwide. Competitive options include live tournaments, weekly leagues, ranking oil patterns that change each week, and global player rankings. Oil patterns wear down during play. Players can create custom bowling balls, form teams with friends, and use a private team space to compete against other teams. Music and videos can be streamed to displays in the bowling alley.
