Happy 4 years of Bugsnax! To celebrate..

🐛Bugsnax VR is now available for FREE on SteamVR
🍓60% off on Steam!
😋Bugsnax: The Card Game orders are open!

Get you Bugsnax fix in all realities, virtual or otherwise.


To celebrate 4 years since Bugsnax’s launch, we’re releasing VR on SteamVR for Windows as a free update for all of you.

For those who own the game on other platforms or have never given Bugsnax a shot, we hope 60% off will mean you join us on Snaktooth Island!


What began as a fun side project by one of our programmers has evolved into a free update for Bugsnax fans! Converting the game from flatscreen to VR felt like a natural fit, especially with the hands-on use of tools and traps that make catching Bugsnax so engaging. Plus, you can now compare your height with all the Grumpus characters. Hint: they’re taller than you think!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our open beta and gave feedback and feature requests! It’s been awesome getting to hear from the VR community and introduce more of you to our goofy game. Fans have been asking for Bugsnax in VR since it launched, and at long last, you can now pet a Bunger up close and personal, in virtual reality.

While you’re here, we’ve also just opened shop for Bugsnax: The Card Game. If you’re a Bugsnax fan (or your kids are), you can now buy a physical copy of the game and have it shipped pretty much anywhere in the world. Show me the cards.

Thanks for 4 incredible years and for loving our games as much as we love to make them

What is supported by Bugsnax VR?

The game was primarily tested using Quest 2/3, Valve Index, and PSVR2 along with their respective controllers. Vive wands are not supported. Gamepad support is available for those who prefer to play without motion controllers.

The game offers both teleport and continuous movement options, as well as snap camera rotation with customizable degree settings. It can be played seated or standing, in room-scale or stationary setups. Left-handed mode is also available.

Will Bugsnax VR be coming to other platforms?

There are currently no plans for other platforms, including PSVR2, Meta Quest standalone, or Apple Vision Pro. Bugsnax was created using a custom game engine, making full porting time-consuming. We intend to update the Windows version of Bugsnax on Epic Games Store to include SteamVR support.

Which VR platform are you using?

We developed this off and on for a few years using OpenVR, which is the API developed for SteamVR. We have not switched to OpenXR, so running SteamVR is a requirement.

I have a Meta Quest, how can I play the game through SteamVR?

You can connect to SteamVR through Steam Link, Oculus Link, or Virtual Desktop.

What are the system requirements?

A high-end Windows gaming desktop PC with an NVIDIA 3000 series graphics card is recommended for best performance.

Where can I learn more about the card game?
You can visit the shop here or see our successful Kickstarter here.

They should do a physical release with real lickable Bugsnax cards.
edit: I suppose we CAN spice the trading cards ourselves
edit2: party game idea: every time you play a 'snax card, you have to lick whatever it's laced with...
