VRChat+ (often abbreviated to VRC+) is a subscription service that provides users with additional features and benefits to enhance their VRChat experience. Purchasing VRChat+ directly supports VRChat's development and addresses users who want to support the platform. VRChat+ was officially released on December 3rd, 2020.

Features

VRChat+ offers various features that enhance the user experience:

Custom User Icons

Supporters can customize their nameplate with a custom icon. Take a picture in VRChat or upload an image on the VRChat website.

Increased Avatar Slots

Supporters unlock more avatar slots and avatar lists.

Free VRChat+
Avatar Slots 25 300
Avatar Lists 1 6

Gallery

Supporters unlock the ability to use the Gallery, which allows them to capture and upload images in the form of Icons, Photos, and Emoji. Images uploaded to the Gallery must be less than 10MB, larger than 64×64 pixels, and smaller than 2048×2048 pixels. Custom emojis must be smaller than 1024×1024 pixels.

Icons

Icons are circular images that can be equipped to both Profiles and Groups. When equipped to your profile, the icon is displayed on your nameplate, in the Here tab, at the top of the Quick Menu, and on your profile, replacing the free icon of the first 3 characters of your username.

Photos

Photos are rectangular images that can be equipped to Profiles and Groups, as well as attached to notifications sent to other users. When equipped to your profile, the photo is displayed alongside your username in Friend Locations and on your profile, replacing the thumbnail of the avatar you currently have equipped. When equipped to a group, the photo acts as the group's banner. Photos can be attached to invites, invite requests, and replies. VRChat+ users can take and attach new photos using the camera without saving them to the Gallery.

Emoji

Custom emojis can be uploaded and used in the Gallery, providing unique expressions and reactions.

Groups

Supporters unlock the ability to create and join more groups. A VRChat+ subscription is not required to retain ownership of a group once it has been created.

Free VRChat+
Group Joins 100 200
Group Creation 0 5

UI Decorations

Supporters can customize UI Elements to their liking, including the UI theme colors and selecting background images for the Quick Menu and Main Menu.

Free VRChat+
Backgrounds 4 37
UI Themes 0 20

Trust Boost

Supporters receive an increase to their Trust Rank. This boost usually increases your trust rank to the next level, which is especially useful for newcomers who want to start content creation immediately.

  • Visitor → New User
  • New User → User

If you are a User or Known rank, the trust boost is unlikely to have an effect.

Other Features

Additional features may include:

Free VRChat+
VRChat+ Profile Badge No Yes
Early Supporter Profile Badge (Ended) No Yes
VRCat on Quick Menu No Yes
VRChat Android Mobile Early Access (Ended) No Yes

Purchasing

VRChat+ can only be purchased in-client through the VRChat+ tab at the bottom right of the Main Menu.

Tiers and Pricing

VRChat+ comes in two tiers: VRChat+ Monthly and VRChat+ Yearly.

Tier Price in USD
Monthly $9.99/month
Yearly $99.99/yearly

Gifting

You can also gift other users VRChat+. These gifts stack if the user you're gifting to already has VRChat+.

Technical Information

VRChat+ is available on Steam and the Oculus Quest Store.

Using VRChat+ on Different Platforms

Your VRChat+ benefits are linked to your VRChat account and any platform-specific account it’s merged with. You can purchase VRChat+ on Steam even if you primarily use another platform, like Oculus PC, by merging your Oculus PC account into your VRChat account.

Custom User Icons

Active supporters can upload images to their account on the VRChat website and select one as an icon next to their nameplate. This can be accessed by clicking the Icons button on the sidebar in the VRChat Home interface. You can also upload pictures taken in VRChat via the User Icon interface.

Subscription Issues

For issues with VRChat+ features, contact VRChat Support. Subscription payments are processed through platform partners (Steam or Oculus), so contact their support services for payment issues. Refunds for subscriptions are not permitted by the platforms, and VRChat does not offer refunds after purchase.

Subscription Renewal and Lapse

When a VRChat+ subscription lapses:

  • Your user icon will be cleared, but uploaded icons are saved.
  • You will lose access to VRChat+ favorite avatar rows but retain access to the first 25 avatars. Data for additional rows is stored for future access.
  • Early Supporter statuses or badges and Trust gained from the VRChat+ Trust boost are retained.
  • Other VRChat+ features will be disabled, with data saved for future access if the subscription is restarted.

Canceling VRChat+ Subscription

Steam: 1. Visit the Steam Account Details page. 2. Click “Manage Subscriptions.” 3. Cancel or renew subscriptions as needed.

For more details, see the Steam Support article on recurring subscriptions.

Oculus Quest Store: 1. In your Oculus headset, select “Your Account” in the Store left sidebar. 2. Select “Subscriptions,” then “VRChat,” and finally “Cancel Subscription.”

Trust Rank Increase

A one-time Trust boost is applied when you purchase VRChat+. Trust is a measure of how much the VRChat systems trust a user, influencing the Safety System. This boost is small and has diminishing returns, with a significant effect primarily for Visitors and New Users. The highest Trust rank is Trusted, and further boosts have no effect for Trusted Users.
