The game may be played with or without a virtual reality headset, specifically a SteamVR headset, Oculus headset, or PlayStation VR headset. In virtual reality mode, the game uses full 3D motion via the motion capture system of a virtual reality headset and two hand-held motion controllers, which are required to pick up and handle objects in the game world, including balls, weapons, construction tools, and other objects. Players can explore the space around them within the confines of their physical floor-space while roaming further by using the controller buttons to teleport a short distance, with minimal or no virtual reality sickness. A “walking” mode enables players to move continuously rather than teleporting; however, this poses a higher risk of motion sickness. | The game may be played with or without a virtual reality headset, specifically a SteamVR headset, Oculus headset, or PlayStation VR headset.

After he asked, the community agreed and puts the first iteration to r/place, covering up the flag of Finland. Since there was a cooldown, Many staff members like emilywafflesyay and the community work hard to add the pixels and defend the space from trolls. The first iteration is a smiley face (Known as Coach) found on the game's icon and logo. Later, the community added the aberration of Rec Room (RR) at the top of ''Coach'' (Separated by a black border). For a brief time, they replaced the 'RR' part with the Maker Pen (If you think it's a gun, then why?) But changed back to 'RR' after. | ||
