Moving Forward - A Developer Update
Greetings Hunters!
It’s been a couple of months since we released Virtual Hunter out of early access and today I thought I’d tell you a bit about what we are up to!
For a long time we’ve had people asking, requesting (even demanding!) to get the game on other platforms than PCVR. We’ve said before that we will look into it after full release. It would have been impossible to work on such a massive game on several platforms with our small team. But now this is something we can look into. Which platforms we aim is something to be determined but we will keep you up to date when we have more news. We want as many players as possible to experience the thrill of a hunt in VR so this is exciting.
Steam Spring Sale
Steam has a Spring sale going on right now and you can get Virtual Hunter 30% off! Grab a copy, share the game to friends and head out together for a hunt!
We have also created official channels for our company Korpi Games. All our announcements and news will go to these channels so follow them not to miss out! We will also post them to #korpi-games-news here on Discord. Actually, we have something completely new to announce there very soon…

Leaving Early Access January 15th!
Greetings Hunters!
We are excited to announce that Virtual Hunter is leaving early access on January 15th!
After three years of hard work by a small team to push the boundaries of open world VR games, Virtual Hunter is now feature complete. The game had very humble beginning with a small map and just two animals to hunt. Today players can immerse themselves in one of the largest open worlds in all of VR with seven species, multiplayer, realistic weapon handling, unique trophy mounting system and so much more.
The game was been shaped by involving the passionate community in the development. All of the support, feedback and input have been invaluable and without them, the game would not be what it is today. We are grateful for everyone and it's been a pleasure to form such an amazing community around the game.
