Announcing Free Bugsnax VR Update & Sale!

To celebrate 4 years since Bugsnax’s launch, we’re releasing VR on SteamVR for Windows as a free update for all of you.


For those who own the game on other platforms or have never given Bugsnax a shot, we hope 60% off until 11/15 will mean you join us on Snaktooth Island!

What began as a fun side project by one of our programmers has evolved into a free update for Bugsnax fans! Converting the game from flatscreen to VR felt like a natural fit, especially with the hands-on use of tools and traps that make catching Bugsnax so engaging. Plus, you can now compare your height with all the Grumpus characters. Hint: they’re taller than you think!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our open beta and gave feedback and feature requests! It’s been awesome getting to hear from the VR community and introduce more of you to our goofy game. Fans have been asking for Bugsnax in VR since it launched, and at long last, you can now pet a Bunger up close and personal, in virtual reality.

While you’re here, we’ve also just opened shop for Bugsnax: The Card Game. If you’re a Bugsnax fan (or your kids are), you can now buy a physical copy of the game and have it shipped pretty much anywhere in the world. Show me the cards.

Thanks for 4 incredible years and for loving our games as much as we love to make them
