Playground VRSource Byte Sp. z o.o. · entered 26 Feb 2021Playground VRSource Byte Sp. z o.o. · entered 26 Feb 2021We don't want to have it in early access for a long time. It's hard to predict it accurately at the moment. Our task is to add more funny and playable elements. Thanks to them we want the player not to get bored and to come back to the game. We also want to encourage them to explore new features!

A game is in Early Access when the store lists it among its genres; the clock starts on the day the ledger saw it enter or, for a game that launched into Early Access, on the release date the store prints. The promise is the developer’s own questionnaire answer, kept word for word; only ranges and single figures are compared, open answers are listed as open, and answers the parser could not read say so. Graduations are recorded from 3 Sep 2026, so earlier years undercount them. A game whose questionnaire has not been read yet says “not read yet” under No promise (how). Data by SteamPeaks.com.
