About the Game
Escape Simulator 2 is the sequel to Pine Studio's first-person escape-room game, and it leans into the format that made the original work — handcrafted rooms with tactile, prop-driven puzzles you solve by physically picking objects up, examining them, combining them, finding hidden compartments. Each environment is built around a theme (Dracula's Castle, ancient temples, sci-fi installations) and packs four interconnected rooms of layered puzzles per pack.
The 2026 release adds Room Editor 2.0, a built-in tool that lets you compose your own escape rooms and share them via Steam Workshop — the original game's community shipped over 70,000 fan-made rooms, so the sequel is betting hard on user-generated content for long-term value. Co-op for up to 8 players is in from launch.
Released as OFME (Online-Fix Mod Edition) — the 8-player co-op works between cracked clients via the mod's relay, no Steam account required. 13.7 GB installed. Solo and co-op campaign content is identical; Workshop rooms can be downloaded inside the game without a Steam login.

Official update history
We’ve just released a new hotfix (ver 22787) with fixes and improvements across the base game, Apocalypse DLC, VR, and Room Editor. Thanks for all the reports and feedback!
Core fixes
Movement speed is now a separate value for flat and VR, so they can be adjusted separately.
Improved throwing to prevent thrown items from clipping into colliders or going through walls.
Fixed a bug in multiplayer (3+ players) where player customization would sometimes not sync properly.
Level fixes
Apocalypse 2 - Fixed shader compilation issue when entering the toilet room.
Apocalypse 3 - Fixed solar panels puzzle not showing the correct colors in some cases.
Apocalypse 3 - Fixed a bug in VR with the tripod puzzle where the puzzle would finish while the item was still in hand.
VR
Fixed dialog UI not showing in the proper position when a VR player tried to start a level in the multiplayer lobby.
Fixed a bug where a client VR player would have overlapping UI when the host exited during Lobby load.
Defined out-of-bounds sphere colors for Lobby and Tutorial.
Room Editor
Fixed issue with constrained transform scale when setting a value manually to 0.xxx (when you typed the first 0, it would break the scale).
Fixed a few improperly defined props that could not be deleted once placed.

Thank you to everyone who has been playing the new VR Update!
We’re very happy to see the positive feedback from the VR community so far. We’re continuing to work hard on making the VR experience even better, and this first hotfix addresses several issues reported since the update launched.
Core Fixes
Multiplayer: Fixed a bug where the host's outfit would sometimes be duplicated on other players.
All the missing achievements are now back again. (you should probably reopen the game to get them)
Fixed a bug where some achievements could not be unlocked because DLC rooms were incorrectly counted as a requirement. Only base-game levels are now required.
Mirrors are now slightly more optimized and use less memory.
Level Fixes
Lobby: Improved vertical navigation in the level picker when using a controller.
Lobby: Token jigsaw pieces that have been placed correctly no longer render above unplaced pieces.
Dracula 1: Fixed a bug where a duplicate shovel could appear when VR and flat-screen players were playing together and the VR player interacted with the shovel first.
Pirate 3: Fixed a VR-only interaction issue in the parrot cave where a piece placed in the furthest row could no longer be interacted with.
VR
Fixed a bug where scrolling with the controller thumbstick would sometimes stop working.
Improved the token jigsaw interaction in the Lobby, making pieces easier to select and interact with.
Room Editor
Fixed a bug where props could not be selected or display their overlay if their material was missing.
Thanks again for all the reports and feedback!

A huge thank you to everyone testing the ES2 VR Preview! It’s been great to see so much positivity and so many helpful reports and suggestions from the VR community.
Preview 2 brings a bunch of smaller and bigger fixes and improvements. It’s still a preview, so some things are missing (like proper VR characters), and a few things are still broken, (such as the Pirate Darkest 1 puzzle).
We’re working hard on the final polish, and the full VR release is coming very very soon!
If you have feedback or bug reports, please send them on Discord or to [email protected]
Thanks again for helping us improve VR!
