Steam Frame imminent 👀

Discussing the new update with some friends and of course... my mind went... What cursed new items could be added? A scout-like sash that has all your VRC badges on it. 😭

The VRChat Open Beta has added a "View mutuals" button on profiles small and large. It shows a combined number of mutual friends and groups, with lists of both on further drop downs.

DrMorro, the creator of Organism/Epilogue/Ritual/Olympia, some of the best worlds in all of VR, gave an interview to @kentbye.com. Usually a very solitary/hard to contact person, we get an insight in to themself and their amazing work.

Samhain, a festival of seasonal change + embracing our connection to the blurring of lines between our world and the past. Cathedral of Witches expressed this through dance (@vrdance.bsky.social), music (@hexeexe.bsky.social/ @fangsvr.bsky.social), live poetry + meditation (@ladybugvr.bsky.social)

Fright Dimension

The new VRChat 3.9.1 SDK beta has introduced PhysBones, Contacts and VRC Constraints to worlds with Udon API support. I am beyond excited to see what the minds of the artist community comes up with. Worlds are about to take a leap forward in so many ways! vrc-beta-docs.netlify.app/releases/rel...

Video example of the face/eye tracking + mic from @nanochip.me: -Lenses/mOLED/res fantastic -Mic good except for it's a bit quiet -Tongue tracking added to AndroidXR recently but not in yet -FoV similar to QPro -Comfort biggest downside, similar/worse than default QPro -Strap not easily modifiable

Samsung Galaxy XR announced with: 3552×3840 microOLED, 90hz Face, eye + hand tracking WiFi 7 support with Virtual Desktop support at launch 6.5MP pass-through, 6 mic array, BT 5.4 $1800 w/o controllers Throw a tracker on it, use some Index Controllers/Gloves... Quest Pro 2 equivalent? We will see!

For all you event runners/moderators: Stickers, Prints + Emoji that have been used in the current instance can be viewed in the Report tab for easier reporting/moderation.

Pretty huge VRChat Open Beta update: Boops are back. The quick menu UI has changed. The Launchpad is replaced with the "Live Now" tab with current events happening in your calendar, friend/group locations and upcoming events. Warp Effects (essentially enter/exit animations)

Community Service, giving out candy in the Pug.

There are now "companions" in the VRChat Store; two companions, Kath and Treats! They follow you around, you can give them pets and you can collect candy from them for the Spookality quest! There's also stickers, a portal skin and animated emoji~

The newest @vrchat.com Open Beta has added a new Shop/Marketplace tab in the menu. Its starting with an "B3-7A" open beta portal skin and a free sticker pack from last years Spookality. You can also now gift avatars or anything else in the new marketplace.

What it looks like in game:

In the newest VRC Open beta (2025.3.3, build 1707), VRC+ subscribers can rename an instance they open from within game. Also there's now an exposure sliders to the default camera

There is a person on Reddit called "Crafty-Average-586" who called out the "Steam Frame" name a day before the trademark was registered and has also said these things: Hmmmmmm.... (cope)

Valve registered a trademark for “Steam Frame” and has renamed SteamVR Overlays to Frames. Hmmmm…..

particle pool was absolutely also inspired by previous works we had seen!! i'm very happy to hear we could be part of that cycle of innovation, and i'm excited to see what y'all do with yours:) fun fact: moon_pool's particle shader was then adapted into both the SNR hologram and my star world!~

Specularium by jasper ｡ is a ~30 minute VRChat journey that explores of the concept of surveillance through dystopian environmental storytelling. Striking visuals mixed and a haunting score; with an audiovisual performance w/ music from Ryoji Ikeda, using sine wave/white noise to convey meaning.

Any TTRPG fans out there? I’ve watched Critical Role for the past 10 years and they just revealed a lot of the details on their Fourth Campaign, can’t wait! youtu.be/nY1JaWT-CKo

Absolutely incredible performances by everyone at the latest @concretevr.live ❤️ Dunes are, to this day, the most unique experience you can get in #vrchat, imo (Music: Ninajirachi - Delete, go get their banger of an album!)

Love seeing data from the VRChat community! This is awesome! Favorite takeaways were almost 50% didn’t have physical equipment before DJing in VR and >50% of the DJs were older than 30. Majority JP Community DJs too!

The Dunes revealed the creature's fursona at @concretevr.live. Paws.

Some of my favorites too! EVE/Mount and Blade/Stalker/L4D took up so much of my time, so many fond memories. Crazy that the sequel to Titan Quest just came out in the past 2 weeks!

Titan Quest 2 surprise release? There goes my Friday night 👀

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill! And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic! We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

Calendars have entered Open Beta! docs.vrchat.com/docs/vrchat-... As well as some other cool changes like: - Photos having metadata of the author/world it was taken in. - More accurate VRAM usage shown on avatars via server processing - You can unfavorite those avatars that failed security checks
