🚨 Play Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic VR on Steam PC VR 🚨 Available now.

Hey all! We will be launching Secret of the Mimic PCVR via Steam tomorrow at 9am PDT! We are in the last stretch of testing the PlayStation VR2 patch that will make the two platforms have parity. The goal is to launch both the PCVR update and the PS VR2 patch on the same day. Thank you!

Hey all! We promised we would be better about communication moving forward and we want to live up to that. We have decided that we are going to hold back PCVR a LITTLE bit longer. (🧵 1/5)

We know it's frustrating when it appears that we aren't communicating and that can come across as if we’re not paying attention. That cannot be farther from the truth. We take this community very seriously because the community is what makes everything we do worthwhile. (🧵 4/5)

While I wish we could always be perfect, we do always strive to do better! (🧵 5/5)

Play Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic in VR now available on PlayStation®VR2. More updates on VR available here: steelwoolstudios.com/sotm-vr/
