Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free video game screenshot or promotional image true for VRChat
Description	This is a screenshot from VRChat. The screenshot copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the game or the publisher, VRChat, Inc. or the developers of the video game. People hanging out in the game VRChat
Source	Screenshot taken by Pattersonuwu on Aug 14 2026
Article	VRChat
Portion used	The entire screenshot: because the image is taken from the game, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original screenshot. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork.
Purpose of use	Header. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as screenshot. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed at the beginning of the article or section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Specifically, conveying the diverse range of worlds, avatars, etc. in VRChat is quite hard, and this photo achieves that in a way that cannot be replicated with a free-use one.. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services to relevant concerns and video game marketing to the public.
Replaceable?	As a screenshot, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the item in question would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image as a header would be misleading as to the identity of the work. VRChat is a particularly random game, the only alternative for a gameplay screenshot would be a photo taken from the official website, which would definitely be more legally ambiguous than this.
Other information	Use of the screenshot in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
