Case Study: Odyssey Powers McDonald’s First Metaverse Experience with CoreWeave

Odyssey Hosts McDonald’s First Metaverse Experience, Powered by CoreWeave

Odyssey, a high-fidelity pixel streaming platform, needed a cloud infrastructure that could support large-scale, compute-intensive metaverse experiences without the cost and overhead of traditional virtual machines. For McDonald’s first metaverse event, Odyssey had to deliver a seamless Unreal Engine-powered experience for 900+ employees joining from around the world, with rapid GPU access and the flexibility to handle major spikes in demand.

Using CoreWeave Cloud and its serverless Kubernetes-based containerized GPU infrastructure, Odyssey was able to autoscale across thousands of GPUs in seconds and pay only for what it used. CoreWeave helped Odyssey burst by an average of 500 GPUs every five minutes, reach nearly 2,500 GPUs at peak, and stream 1,800+ hours across 85 countries while delivering secure, high-resolution, 60 FPS experiences to attendees within 30 seconds of login.
