The Pirate Queen Charts as Top New Release in China
The Pirate Queen has officially debuted in China as the #1 new VR release on Pico — marking another major milestone in the global rise of Singer Studios’ award-winning franchise.
The launch follows Singer Studios’ groundbreaking partnership with NetVios, bringing the Emmy-nominated VR experience to thousands of stores across China and to players on standalone VR headsets. The response from audiences has been extraordinary, with The Pirate Queen soaring to the top of the charts within days of release.
Created and directed by Eloise Singer and starring Lucy Liu, The Pirate Queen has become one of the most recognised VR narratives in recent years. The experience won the Storyscapes Award at Tribeca Film Festival and the Discovery Award at Raindance Film Festival, and was celebrated for its striking visuals, powerful narrative, and innovative approach to immersive storytelling. Backed by Meta and the BFI, it earned Emmy and PGA nominations for Singer Studios’ pioneering work in the field.
This latest success in China underscores the growing global demand for The Pirate Queen universe — a bold and cinematic reimagining of the untold story of Cheng Shih, the woman who became the most powerful pirate in history.
With audiences around the world embracing its blend of adventure, emotion, and scale, The Pirate Queen continues to solidify its position as one of the most dynamic emerging franchises in entertainment.
The Pirate Queen is available now on Pico, Meta Quest, and Steam.
