The Full Body Avatars Beta is now available for ALL LEVEL 40+ PLAYERS!

UPDATE as of 4/5/24

Hey all, another Full Body Avatars update for you - now ALL level 40+ players have access to the beta! We’re also super excited to introduce lower-body specific items like pants and shoes to the store, starting with the Froggy Boots hopping into the store TODAY!

This is just another step towards letting you customize your avatar to your heart’s content, with updates for head and body shapes right around the corner (and even more options coming soon!).

If you don’t yet have access to the beta but want to be able to see FBA only items (pants and shoes) you can toggle the setting to see them on and off in the watch settings under Misc. You won’t get access to the beta from buying these items, but when you get access to the beta and eventual full release you’ll be able to see (and wear!) these items in your inventory. There will also be a warning about this in-game if you try to purchase the item without current access.

We’ve been listening to your feedback about FBA and there are more fixes and improvements directly from some of your suggestions that are landing soon. If you have more suggestions or questions, please voice them HERE! Thanks for all your help so far and we’re excited to share more updates with you shortly!

The Full Body Avatars Beta is rolling out to LEVEL 40+ PLAYERS!

UPDATE as of 3/18/24

Hey all! More updates on the FBA beta here:

Thanks to your help, we have been prioritizing work you have highlighted, such as sleeve color and material choices, and we’re still continuing our planned work around face and body shapes (which should be coming soon!)

We also have learned some behavior trends that impacted things in ways we did not expect and would have missed without the testing (it turns out that taking a lot of pictures of your new looks and toggling between many outfits may cause increased performance issues). Knowing behaviors like that helps us understand where to prioritize optimizing in a more impactful and thoughtful way.

We’re also happy to share now that we’re continuing to roll out FBA to more players! For the coming weeks, you can expect more and more groups of level 40+ players to get FBA access - starting TODAY!

Please continue to report bugs or glitches as you see them as it’s been a big help, and make sure to check out our FAQ on this page to see if your issue or question has already been addressed.

The Full Body Avatars Beta is now available to ALL LEVEL 50 PLAYERS!

UPDATE as of 3/8/24

Hey all, the tests have been going great thanks to all your feedback! Here’s a quick few updates on some of the results we’re seeing. First of all, crash rates are up around 10% for players using Full Body Avatars. Thanks to your feedback and the results of the split test, we’ve identified a few bugs and will be testing fixes with the next update. Please continue to report bugs or glitches as you see them - it’s been a big help!

The next update is that we’re rolling out the beta to more players - all level 50 players now have access to the beta! Now you’ll be able to earn your way into the beta through leveling up, so no worries if you’re not level 50 today, you’ll get access as soon as you level up!

Thanks for all of the support so far, we’ll be in touch with more feature updates coming soon (like face and body shapes). Keep your eyes peeled here and on the official discord for the latest about the beta!

The Full Body Avatars Beta is Finally HERE!

Tomorrow is today - Full Body Avatars are now officially in beta! Sorry for the wait, we’ve been adding tons of polish behind the scenes and hope you’ll love the upgrades we’ve made. To ensure we’re building the best experience for you we’ll be doing some initial testing, so half of all level 50+ players will get access TODAY with the rest of level 50 coming soon after the first tests are done. These tests will determine the rollout of the beta to other levels, so keep your eyes on this page or the official Rec Room discord for updates as they come out - as well as other new FBA features we’ll be releasing throughout the beta!

Are you level 50+ and want to check if you have access to the beta? Open your game and head to the ‘customize’ menu - you’ll see if you’re eligible to use FBA there! What can you expect? New eyes, eyebrows, noses, mouths, limbs, feet, hands (and fingers!) are just the start. Tons of your existing outfits (like TMNT items) are already optimized for Full Body Avatars, with way more on the way! Try out your existing inventory or check the store for more options to style your way. 

For all those concerned about the change of style, FBA is totally optional and bean avatars aren’t going anywhere. We’re committed to letting players express themselves however they want, and beans are the foundation of Rec Room’s style. We plan to update beans alongside FBA and want to continue finding new pathways to letting all players customize the way they’d like to!

We’re so excited for you to try out Full Body Avatars and all of the new features they bring, but to make them even better we need YOUR help. Your feedback is vital to the future of FBA, so make sure to add your input to the upvote board and join the discussion in our Discord for other ways to provide feedback. 

We look forward to hearing from you, we’ll be in touch SOON™️!
