Dev Note: The Steam version of Plastic Battlegrounds actually released on the newest experimental build at the time (Build 242, first half of Update 26) early - C4, Medkits, syringes, etc. were all actually only available to testers on the Quest but all players on PCVR up until this weekend! This Steam update that launches alongside the Quest update now puts them both on the same version, hope you enjoyed getting to play with the new toys early!

More optimizations, gun handling, and platform specific fixes are coming in addition to content and feature additions. Remember to give any feedback or notes to us, we read them all!
