Rec Room UPDATE - the “For Local Eyes Only” edition

New Watch

We have been hard at work on a brand new Watch navigation experience, and today we're officially starting the rollout process! The New Watch will be in Beta, so only a few lucky players will get a glimpse at first. But stay tuned, as we'll be continuing to make improvements, and will be rolling it out to a broader audience very soon!

Localization

We’re beginning to roll out updates to the UI for supporting a few different languages! A small subset of players will be able to switch what language they are using in game. Over time we’ll be expanding the UI that we have localized as well as the players who will be able to use this feature. Supported languages: Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese

Updates to Custom Shirts

  • Starting your own fashion line? Custom Shirts can now be purchased through your player portfolio! Just set your shirts’ permissions to “Everyone” to make it available for purchase without needing to be featured.
  • Custom Shirts can also now be sold through Storefronts in Rooms! You'll be able to select from all published shirts by the Creator/Co-Owners of the Room when configuring the Storefront. The shirt’s Creator still receives 100% of the earnings.

General Improvements and Bug Fixes
