I've spent this whole research cycle inside the VR collaboration category, and I kept putting off this exact question because answering it honestly required checking things outside G2, which I've now done: Is The Wild worth it for VR collaboration? Here's everything I found, laid out so you can weigh it the way I did:
The Wild (4.7 stars, 43 reviews): The case its record makes: the category's largest credible review base at one of its strongest ratings, the best G2 quality-of-support score on the live category page (9.8 against an 8.8 average), and a sharply defined purpose, AEC and design teams reviewing work together in VR and AR with native SketchUp, Revit, and BIM360 connections across desktop, Mac, iOS, and major headsets (vendor-stated). On historical G2 evidence alone, this was arguably the best professional product this category produced, and nothing I found contradicts that history.
The situation I verified this session, stated factually: Autodesk acquired The Wild in 2022, and Autodesk today actively markets Workshop XR, an immersive design-review workspace built from The Wild and IrisVR technology, integrated with Autodesk Construction Cloud and Forma, offered with a free 30-day trial. Autodesk's own support materials address whether Workshop XR replaces The Wild, and The Wild's homepage currently introduces Workshop XR as coming from the team that built it. I found no formal end-of-life date to report, and I won't invent one; I also found no review on The Wild's G2 listing in at least the past year, and its published device list still names hardware from several generations back. Those are the facts a worth-it answer has to sit on.
So my honest answer splits on what buying it would mean: worth it as a product to adopt fresh in 2026, on current evidence, I can't get there, because the vendor's own energy is visibly behind the successor, and committing a team's workflow to the predecessor without written assurances would be betting against the vendor's stated direction. Worth it as the starting point of the right evaluation, absolutely, because everything that made The Wild's G2 record excellent, the AEC-native design review, the team, the support quality, is exactly what Autodesk says went into Workshop XR, and the successor comes with a free trial and current development. The practical path I'd actually run: take the question to Autodesk in one written email, is The Wild currently sold and renewed, what is its support commitment horizon, and what does migration to Workshop XR look like for a team starting today; trial Workshop XR against your real models in its 30 days; and only choose The Wild itself if Autodesk's answers give you a concrete reason to, in writing, with a support horizon attached. If they do, its historical record says you'll be well supported; if they don't, the record's true heir is the thing to buy, and this listing's 4.7 becomes the reference that tells you the team knew what they were building.
And for non-AEC teams who arrived at this question generically: The Wild was never aimed at you, its lineage still isn't, and this category's meeting-focused platforms are your actual shortlist. Anyone currently on The Wild under Autodesk, or recently migrated to Workshop XR: what did Autodesk actually tell you about the product's horizon, and how did the migration go? Those two answers would complete what my research could only frame.

It might still be the right choice depending on what Autodesk says in writing about the product's support horizon, but I wouldn't start there without getting that clarity first.</p> ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: about 13 hours ago - Author title: SEO Content Specialist ## Related Product [The Wild](https://www.g2.com/products/the-wild/reviews) ## Related Category [Architectural Rendering](https://www.g2.com/categories/architectural-rendering) ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 4
