Yuga Labs is building the Otherside metaverse, a platform that combines elements of online games and virtual worlds, with NFT holders playing a central role. The company also develops gaming experiences, such as the Dookey Dash game, to engage the community and explore the possibilities of web3 gaming.

BMW and Yuga join forces for ApeFest

In his latest blog post, Yuga Labs co-founder Greg Solano announced that they have partnered with BMW, a world-renowned manufacturer of luxury cars and motorcycles, for ApeFest 2025. BMW first attended ApeFest Hong Kong in 2023, where the car company released a BMW i5 M60 for a digital light show that allowed Apes to put their primates on the car project.

Third year in a row that we collaborate with @BMW at Apefest. An incredible partner for the club.

See you at ApeFest. https://t.co/t1CkoZdcFj

Then, in 2024, BMW stepped up their game by launching the Bored Ape Bimmer Club, releasing a range of BMW x BAYC merchandise, inviting community members for the ride of their lives in a BAYC-themed mixed reality race that was anything but boring, and even teaming up with BAYC member Rida to create a 1/1 “ApeMobile” creation worth nearly $100,000, which is now owned by BAYC member Weidner Dennis.

In the meantime, Yuga Labs and BMW have not yet outlined their plans for this year’s event. Based on past events, people expect BMW to provide interactive experiences that connect their physical vehicles to the digital world of Bored Apes. This includes an ‘Ape Car’, where participants can personalize a physical BMW with their own Ape using projection mapping, and a mixed-reality driving experience where a virtual world with BAYC elements is overlaid on a physical one.
