Cooking Simulator News

Hi Chefs!

We just got back from the Christmas weekend and saw some of you reporting the inability to load previous saves from Cakes and Cookies.

All the save files should now load correctly, just make sure you have the latest update downloaded (5.1.4.2)!

Special thanks to everyone who reported this issue and provided useful information and files.

Happy baking!

Hi Chefs!

We wish you an amazing Winter Holiday and a Happy New Year. Thank you for another amazing year!
To celebrate this wonderful time, we've launched a new Holiday-themed update for Cooking Simulator. There's a new Winter Holiday 2021 decoration available for the Classic Kitchen and in case you've missed it, there's an awesome Winter Holiday mode where you can prepare a feast for up to 8 guests in an amazing cozy winter kitchen!




We're also super excited to announce that Cooking Simulator VR has been nominated in this year's Steam Awards for the Best VR Title. That's amazing and we would really appreciate your support, if you were to vote for us! You can vote for Cooking Simulator VR even, if you don't own the VR version. Keep in mind that the voting starts at 10am PST/7pm CET.

Also, you can check out the Poltergeist Multiplayer mode for Cooking Simulator.



It's a new game mode that allows for 2-4 players to cook together in a shared kitchen. It's still an early beta though, so expect some bugs and glitches. Find out how to access it in the recent announcement here:

Happy Holidays!🎄🎄🎄

Hi Chefs!

Winter Holiday is just around the corner! To help you celebrate that special time of the year usually spent bonding with each other, we'd like to invite you to check out the beta version of the Poltergeist Multiplayer mode.

Yes, you've heard that right. Poltergeist is a holiday-themed multiplayer mode for Cooking Simulator. Just keep in mind that it's still in a very early beta stage, so definitely expect some bugs while messing around with your friends.




[h3]How to access beta:[/h3]
1. Right-click on 'Cooking Simulator' in your Steam library and go to 'Properties'
2. In the new window left-click ‘BETAS’ from the left side panel
3. Choose ‘poltergeist’ from the drop-down list
4. Close the window and update the game

IMPORTANT: The beta contains only the Poltergeist game mode! If you want to access the regular Cooking Simulator game modes, you’ll need to opt out from beta. By using the instruction above, choose ‘none’ from the drop-down list.




Poltergeist Multiplayer mode allows for up to 4 players sharing the Classic kitchen and preparing dishes. You'll see each other as friendly ghosts flying across the kitchen. Due to the game's nature some of the interactions are limited. You can cooperate by exchanging products and ready made-dishes by using the shared space on the table right in the middle of the kitchen.




[h3]Poltergeist offers 2 game modes:[/h3]
Sandbox - learn and practice your cooking skills with any pressure or scoring
Leaderboards - work together to prepare the chosen dishes during the given time and earn the highest score possible
