Version 2.5
Sep 20, 2024
Hello,
today we present you the latest update 2.6.
You can unlock the new rides here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3010360/Virtual_Rides_3__Ride_Pack_2_Power_Spin__Continuum/
As always, you often get a better deal with the Ultimate Edition. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10726/Virtual_Rides_3_Ultimate_Edition/

We conducted a large survey under the motto “Shape The Future of Virtual Rides”. We received a lot of great submissions and were able to get a good overview of your wishes and ideas for a potential successor to Virtual Rides 3. We would like to take this opportunity to give you a little insight into the results:
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27454822/8778c2920813740077d967c5f5650e2716c482cd.png
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27454822/f50e2460a4aed71fb2e77dde0ec9c164c05fb44f.png
Regarding 1. above all, customizable light/LED effects and decoration were mentioned. In addition, (even) more realistic controls and storable, automatic ride programs.
For 2. the assembly and dismantling of rides, individual fairground layouts and a career mode were mentioned.
Under 3. you mainly asked for an improved music system with playlists, integration of streaming providers and more realistic ride and ambient sounds.
73% of respondents stated that they would like to use a “Create Your Ride” function, similar to Indoorlands. You can take a look at the workshop and see what users have already built there. Pretty impressive.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1378890/Indoorlands/
As the potential development of a successor to VR3 would involve a great deal of effort, both in terms of time and money, we naturally also have to think about funding. That's why we asked you about crowdfunding. Only a quarter of respondents had any experience of this, but 40% could definitely imagine such an approach and a further 46% could possibly imagine it. That makes us very happy!
The results of the survey will help us to assess the feasibility. Thank you again for your participation. We would like to exchange ideas with you on our Discord in the near future. We would also like to give you our perspective on the project and the great challenge of addressing a larger target group than before with a potential successor to VR3.
Until then, we hope you enjoy the latest update.

Build 13533947
Feb 26, 2024
Hi,
Today we unveil the exciting update 2.5.
This time we have focused on adding two new rides instead of one.
First up, we have "Glider" - Feel the rush as you soar through the sky. With its unpredictable twists, "Glider" promises an adrenaline-packed experience like no other.
Next, prepare to take a ride on "Upside Down" - Feel the G-forces. With its intense rotation, "Upside Down" is guaranteed to leave you breathless.
You can unlock the new rides here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2790450
As always, remember that you can often get a better deal with the Ultimate Edition.
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/10726/Virtual_Rides_3_Ultimate_Edition/
We have also added a feature that allows you to create multiple ride designs per ride. You can then switch between different designs with just a few clicks.
These are also stored under Documents/VR3/Custom Designs. This means you can easily exchange them with other players.
We hope that this feature will also be of interest to the active modder community.

Hi,
Today we unveil the exciting update 2.4 with a variety of enhancements and fixes to improve your gameplay experience. And …

We completely remade a lot of textures and materials to have higher quality and more details, especially on the rides.
First and foremost, we are overjoyed by the vibrant enthusiasm and enduring passion that you, our valued players, continue to show for Virtual Rides. The creativity shown through modding and the countless hours many of you have dedicated to the game truly warms our hearts. A big thank you to each and every one of you!
Now to the burning question: what is on the horizon for VR3? As a compact but ambitious studio, we've been channelling our creative energies into two other exciting projects - Indoorlands and REVEIL. Admittedly, this has left us with limited resources to devote to Virtual Rides. However, we're eager to put some more focus back into VR3 and are outlining plans to release 2-3 updates each year. The updates will mainly include new rides, but we are also working on some features such as managing different customisations for your rides, allowing you to switch between different themes. This should be of particular interest to modders.
This rhythm is planned to be continued for as long as the technical framework of our nearly seven year old game allows. We are beginning to bump up against some of its inherent limitations, but our ambition to bring you exciting new content and improvements remains unwavering.
We have patched a few things from the feedback we received.
