Rec Room UPDATE - the "Rec Royale Squads Mode" edition
We just pushed an update. Here's what's new!
  • Rec Royale Squads Mode - team up with your friends to take on Frontier Island in the awesome new Rec Royale Squads Mode! Squads can be up to three people.


  • We now do a better job of celebrating when you win Rec Royale! (See above =])
  • New radio voice chat allows you to stay in touch with your squad anywhere on the map. Your radio will automatically activate when you're far enough away.
  • New revive mechanic - teammate got KO'd by a paint grenade? Save the day with a handshake to revive them! But keep your head on a swivel... it takes a hot second and you're vulnerable to other squads.
  • We've made sprinting more reliable on all platforms!
  • Please note that Squads Mode replaces Solos Mode for the time being - this is to ensure no-one waits too long for a game. It's likely we'll bring Solos back and some point, but for now - squad up!
  • Chat system now supports Group Chats - now you can annoy whole groups of your Rec Room friends with a constant stream of inane messages! Like one-to-one chats, Group Chats work from rec.net to game, and vice versa.
  • Chat - we now show a timestamp on chat messages on rec.net.
  • Note that you cannot message someone who has you blocked. Also, Junior Accounts cannot access chat.
  • Saved Outfits now include skin and hair color, and facial features. (Your whole appearance, basically)
  • We are now allowing any registered user in good moderation standing to access Screen Mode. We are actively working/experimenting on this, so if you have experiences positive or negative with Screen Mode we'd love to hear about them.


Lots of new stuff for room creators this update:
  • Introducing Room Moods - for Maker Room-based custom rooms, you can now go This Room > Setup > Owner and choose from a variety of "room moods" which change the sky and lighting for your room. We plan to expand on this system over time, so let us know what you'd like to see here.
  • Maker Pen - Rotate tool is now seperate from Move tool. You can now rotate in place, or move without rotation (try enabling/disabling snap at 1cm for more control)
  • Maker Pen - fixed a bunch of annoying bugs with snapping generally, and snapping with Gizmos especially. Sorry about that :-/
  • Role System - can now assign a Game Role to a Room on player join (this re-enables scenarios like "only hosts can fly", plus much more)
  • Role System - you can now configure voice rolloff per-player using a Game Role.
  • Many other bug fixes - huge thanks to everyone who reports them via Canny/Discord/Reddit/the Q+As/email or any other channel!


We rely on your feedback to make Rec Room as awesome as possible! So please don't hesitate to get in touch with any feedback you have!
