Here's what's new in this update!
- For the first time, Rec Room is available to PSVR players! For now, it's a very limited beta, and they are not yet mixed with the "general population". But this is a huge milestone, and it means that soon there'll be even more friends from all around the world to play with!
- Paintball - Bows are now a supported weapon in custom games!
- New Toys in the Sandbox Machine - we've added a bunch of new stuff in the Sandbox Machine. We've focused mainly on scenery and decorations (including the oft-requested Quest "flat trees"), so you can start to experiment with building your own layouts. Want a campfire in The Lounge? Sure why not:
- We've made it possible to import only selected friends, or skip friend importing entirely. Handy when creating new profiles!
We've also revamped our initial tutorial with the goal of making Rec Room easier for new players:
- We now teach the handshake (add friend), fist bump (party up), and Stop (mute/ignore/report) gestures so more users are aware of these.
- We highlight the Code of Conduct more prominently during the tutorial.
- Keyboard now has shortcuts for common email addresses (e.g., "@gmail") to minimize typing!
- We're trying something different with weekly challenges - we're going to release just one skin per week, but focus on making that skin a little more special.
- Quest - we tweaked the way teams advanced through the level. Now, when everyone gathers on the unlock pad, the whole team will go together when someone teleports through the door. The goal is to minimize players racing ahead, as well as addressing some technical issues.
- Disc Golf - scoring is now fixed! Sorry about that... lots of work going on behind the scenes right now so this fix took us longer than we wanted.
As always, thanks for playing Rec Room! We have lots of exciting stuff in the works for the coming weeks and months, and as always we want to hear your feedback. Hit us up!
