About the Game
Become the supreme chef in VR! - The kitchen gets a next-gen upgrade!
Step into a realistic VR kitchen filled with every tool, appliance, and any ingredient you could imagine. From griddles and gas burners to knives, blenders, and blowtorches — it’s all here, waiting for you to experiment.
Every ingredient responds to your actions: slice potatoes, flip steaks, or simmer soups with authentic physics and haptic feedback. Feel the resistance of the knife as you cut, and watch food change in temperature, texture, and appearance in real time.
Build your career from rookie to world-class chef in Career Mode, or let your imagination run wild in Sandbox Mode where the only limit is your creativity (or your tolerance for kitchen fires).
Key Features:
Next-Gen VR Immersion – Rebuilt in Unreal 5.5 with 4K visuals, enhanced physics, and dynamic day/night lighting.
Precision Cooking – More accurate VR hand tracking, refined cutting, stirring, and flipping mechanics.
100+ Recipes & Ingredients – From steaks and salmon to spices and sauces, experiment with endless combinations.
Lifelike Tools & Utensils – Griddles, cookers, ovens, knives, pans, spatulas, blenders, and more.
Realistic Physics & Haptics – Every slice, stir, and pour feels authentic through VR feedback.
Career Mode – Climb from novice to star chef, mastering recipes and building your restaurant’s reputation.
Sandbox Mode – Unlimited freedom to cook, experiment, or unleash chaos with slow-motion physics.
Comedy & Chaos – Fires, spills, explosions, and over-the-top kitchen disasters make failure just as fun as success.

Your kitchen’s got all the gear a chef you need.
Your virtual kitchen comes fully equipped with everything a chef could ask for. From griddles, cookers, and ovens to pots, pans, knives, spatulas, and blenders — every tool is interactive and ready to use with your VR hands. Stock your pantry with over 140 ingredients, including meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, dairy, spices, and herbs. Whether you’re preparing gourmet dishes or experimenting with flavour, you’ll have all the essentials at your fingertips.

Real life experience!
Every ingredient reacts to your actions in real time — changing temperature, texture, and appearance as you cook. Slice potatoes, flip steaks, or simmer soup with physics-driven realism. Thanks to haptic feedback, you’ll even feel the resistance of each cut through your VR controllers.
Career Mode – From Novice to Master Chef
Start as a rookie in a small kitchen and gradually rise to fame. Unlock new recipes, serve more demanding customers, and expand your culinary repertoire. The more you master, the more perks and skills you’ll unlock, helping you work faster, more creatively, and more efficiently.

Prefer freedom without rules? Sandbox Mode unlocks everything from the start. Experiment with over 100 recipes and 140+ lifelike ingredients. Prepare gourmet meals, or turn the kitchen into a physics playground:
Chop vegetables mid-air in slow motion.
Line up cutting boards like dominoes.
Set the kitchen ablaze and save it with a fire extinguisher.
Test the limits of VR physics with explosive results.

Why This Edition Stands Out
Cooking Simulator VR: Enhanced Edition is not only an upgrade. It’s a recreating of what made the original so popular:
Sharper mechanics for precision cooking.
Deeper immersion through tactile haptics and refined controls.
More freedom to experiment, learn, and play your way.
A living kitchen that feels dynamic and reactive.
The kitchen is open.
Will you cook with mastery, or embrace the madness?

the patch from beta that fixes issue caused by latest HTC Vive drivers is live now. If you have Turkish or Azerbaijani language set in Windows, the bindings for game won't read. It will be fixed in next patch. For now, you can temporarily set you Windows language to english before starting the game.
And a little heads up what to expect tomorrow/Monday, we plan to test and push build with fixes for:
- fix bindings for players with Turkish and Azeberjaini language in Windows,
- fix for seasoning on back of the cutting board
- fix for the possibility of missing one step in tutorial in Day 1 Career
- fix scenario when you can't repair stuff

First of all, big thanks for such a warm reception. It means so much to us and gives our work a reason, because we are making games for you to enjoy! There will be bigger news with thanks and sum up since this is just a few hours after release and the reason for this announcement is different.
Some players reported to us that they have issues while using Vive controllers. At first, we weren’t able to reproduce it, but we found that after the latest driver update controllers are no longer recognized properly hence the issues. We have already prepared a patch, but until we fully test it it will be available only on the Steam beta branch. Of course it’s available to all of you, so if you have issues with Vive controllers just use a beta branch.
Here are the instructions on how to download beta and fully enjoy the game!

Are we eager to solve any of your issues as fast as possible? Hell yes!
