Summary

  • Pine Studio has opened a public VR preview for Escape Simulator 2 on Steam, giving players immediate access through the "open_beta" branch while it tests the mode ahead of full release.
  • The studio said it wants community feedback because the build is still early: core features work and all official rooms should be playable, but some VR elements remain missing or broken.
  • Visible player hands and character models are not active yet, and community-made escape rooms are not officially supported in the preview.
  • Escape Simulator 2, released in October 2025, currently holds a "Very Positive" Steam rating from more than 1,800 reviews; Pine Studio has not set a date for full VR support.
