- Patch: Fixed Lava Stereoscopic Rendering on PC and Steam VR - 17 September 2026
Hey Folks,Oops, our last performance update didn't include rendering the lava shader on both eyes on PC with Steam VR - fixed it now.Cheers, Wolfgang
- An update you won't notice - 7 September 2026
Hey folks, a tiny change this time that you probably won't even notice unless you do performance monitoring: the lava shader got a lot cheaper on the GPU. To be precise it costs the GPU about half as much time as before. That means higher framerates and soon even better resolutions will be possible especially on the standalone headsets of today and the ones of tomorrow. For those interested in the technical background: the swirling pattern used to be computed live, every frame, for every pixel. Now it is all baked into this one texture, and the shader simply looks it up. Same recipe, precooked. Thanks also to everyone who reached out to report a bug. Our next update will deal with those. Cheers, Wolfgang
- The Big Update: Online Multiplayer, New on Quest, a Year of Improvements - 29 July 2026
The Big VR Giants Update: Online Multiplayer, a New Platform, and a Year of Improvements Folks, we owe you an update. It might have looked like VR Giants went quiet, or even that we'd abandoned it, but we never stopped. We kept it up to date all year, we just didn't post much about it. Sorry about that. From here on we'll keep you in the loop far more often. Back when we last posted, online co-op was "coming." It landed, and a whole lot more with it. Here's what changed. Our launch trailer. A bit dated now, but there it is. Real online multiplayer: play with your friends, wherever they are We launched on a new platform (Meta Quest standalone), and with it came real online multiplayer with simple join codes. No more juggling Parsec or Steam Remote Play Together just to play together. It's cross-play across Steam (PC VR) and Meta Quest 3, Quest 3S and Quest 2, and voice chat is built in.…
- BIG NEWS: Full Online co-op is coming - 26 June 2025
We’ve heard all of your feedback, and we’ve taken it seriously.Many of you were disappointed that VR Giants didn’t offer an online multiplayer mode that worked without relying on external screen-sharing services like Steam Remote Play Together or Parsec. You were absolutely right—and it inspired us to start working on a true online multiplayer feature, even when we weren’t sure if we’d be able to make it happen.Today, we’re excited to tell you that it’s coming… and sooner than you might think!At the beginning of August, we’ll be releasing online multiplayer in Beta. It won’t be perfect right out of the gate, but it should be playable and fun. Please keep sending us your bug reports and feedback so we can iterate quickly and make it better every step of the way.Thank you for your patience and support—together, we’re making VR Giants even better!

- The Outro - 21 December 2024
It's finally here: The final cutscene and conclusion of the VR Giants story.
