VR Preview Update Available

Escape Simulator 2 · published · build 24997680

A huge thank you to everyone testing the ES2 VR Preview! It’s been great to see so much positivity and so many helpful reports and suggestions from the VR community.

Preview 2 brings a bunch of smaller and bigger fixes and improvements. It’s still a preview, so some things are missing (like proper VR characters), and a few things are still broken, (such as the Pirate Darkest 1 puzzle).

We’re working hard on the final polish, and the full VR release is coming very very soon!

If you have feedback or bug reports, please send them on Discord or to [email protected]

Thanks again for helping us improve VR!
