Background & Challenge
XRange, a Dubai-based startup, envisioned creating a premium virtual driving range experience that would stand out in the market. They wanted something beyond the standard golf entertainment model—something that felt as polished and immersive as playing a top-tier console sports game like FIFA or NBA 2K, but adapted to a golf range setting.
Sozo’s Solution
Sozo Labs collaborated with XRange to bring this vision to life. We conceptualized and developed two flagship games: a soccer-themed experience with penalty shootout and free kick modes, and a basketball-themed accuracy challenge. Both games featured ultra-high-definition virtual stadiums and integrated golf radar technology. By partnering with TrackMan, a leading name in launch monitor systems, we ensured the gameplay felt seamless and realistic, translating physical golf shots into virtual sports moments.
Brand & User Experience
To deliver on the high-end feel, we worked alongside The Brash Agency to co-create the user interface and overall UX. This ensured every touchpoint—from entering the venue to navigating the game modes and leaderboards—reflected XRange’s premium brand identity.
Why Sozo?
In the end, the collaboration allowed XRange to offer a one-of-a-kind virtual golf experience globally. Players are able to enjoy a sports gaming environment that feels as authentic and engaging as leading console titles, but with the unique twist of real-world golf play. The result was a truly elevated and immersive offering that set a new standard for virtual driving ranges.
