VRChat is grateful to have an extremely supportive community, ready and willing to join us as we develop the leading social VR platform in the world.
Often, we’ve been asked: “Hey, how can I help you? How can I support VRChat?”, where the answer has been “Enjoy VRChat with your friends, and tell others about it!”
Today, we want to introduce a new way for you to support us — VRChat Plus.
For US$9.99 a month or US$99.99 a year, you’ll get:
- Custom User Icons — We’ve got brand-new nameplates that everyone gets. With VRChat Plus, you can customize your nameplate with an icon you create! Take a picture in VRChat, or upload your own on the VRChat website. Save up to 64 icons to swap on the fly.
- 100 Favorite Avatar Slots — Save an avatar for every situation with this massive amount of favorite slots, split out into 4 rows. Collect and organize! Everyone gets upgraded to 25 favorite avatars.
- Supporter Badge — Show off your status as a VRChat+ Supporter with a badge on your social profile.
- Early Supporter Badge — Get in on VRChat+ early, and your badge will permanently upgrade to an “Early Supporter” version. Time to flex!
- Increased Trust — You’re supporting us, so we’ll support you. Enjoy a little boost to your Trust level.
- … and more on the way! — We’re actively developing many new features for VRChat Plus subscribers like enhanced invite messaging with photos, menu skinning, and more.
As always, the core experience of playing VRChat remains free. The VRChat+ subscription is a way for you to show your support to VRChat, and get some cool bonuses as our way of saying thanks.
VRChat Plus is our first step towards our long-term goals for monetization. We want to allow people who create content — be it worlds, avatars, performances, games, hangouts, experiences, whatever — to be able to support themselves. VRChat is a place where creativity is unbounded. If people who like your work want to support you, we want to help them help you. We’re still working on all this, but we’ll keep you in the know as we move forward.
VRChat Plus is coming soon. It isn’t released yet, but you can hop on our Open Beta to try out the new features for free for a limited time! You don’t need to sign up or pay for anything when using the Open Beta. It’s automagic! To learn how to use our Open Beta, join our Discord and check out the #open-beta-info channel.
When VRChat Plus is launched, you’ll be able to sign up for VRChat+ by clicking the “VRC+” button in the main menu while in VRChat. At launch, VRChat Plus will be available on Steam, and will be available on other platforms at a later time.
Without all of you in our community supporting us, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. Thank you for your support, and we’ll see you in VRChat!
