Developer Updates are always posted to the [https://ask.vrchat.com/c/official/31 Ask Forums] and sometimes additionally on [https://www.youtube.com/@VRChat/videos YouTube], once every other Thursday to cover patch notes, or announcements.

<!-- As for build numbers for April 11, 2016 and May 11, 2016, I am uncertain but am willing to guess it's somewhere in the 0.9.x series [https://archive.org/details/@vrcar and maybe someone can help me out here]. The Medium post for July 28 references the patchnotes for 0.10.0, therefore that was easy. There was a build for 0.10.1, and 0.10.2 which I filled in. I was able to acquire the build number of VRChat on December 8, 2016, because version 0.11.0 was pushed out on December 1st, and archived. ~DAG-XR -->

Developer UpdatesV · E

For all Developer Updates for this year, see the Developer Updates page.

V · EThis is an official VRChat information page!
It is reviewed and approved by the VRCWiki Team. Learn how to contribute to this page by reading the Contribution Guide.

VRChat Developer Updates, or "Dev Updates" are public announcements directed to VRChat users by the VRChat Team, acknowledging information on upcoming or recent features or changes, product releases, current and future events and partnerships, or addressing community feedback.

Overview

Developer Updates are always posted to the Ask Forums and sometimes additionally on YouTube, once every other Thursday to cover patch notes, or announcements. Past developer updates took the form of either a blog post, or video format. However, modern developer updates are often streamlined to include both.

When the VRChat client receives an update, an Open Beta branch, or an announcement regarding server issues, an announcement will typically be posted on their respective Discord servers, but alternatively can appear on their social media profiles. Developer Updates will summarize any releases that happen between posts.

History

Since 2016, VRChat's developer updates have been posted on several outlets, and have also gone through different names. Former developer updates have been called Developer Blogs, Community Updates, and Town Hall Meetings.

VRChat have posted their Developer Updates on the following outlets over the years:

  • VRChat Blog: January 20, 2022 - Current (less frequently)
  • Ask Forum: May 4, 2020 - Current
  • YouTube: April 18, 2018 - Current
  • Steampowered: February 1, 2017 - Current (less frequently)
  • Medium: April 11, 2016 - January 18, 2022

Updates by year
