Cities VR was just recently released and it looks like the updates are already in the planning stages to help increase your cities thrive and succeed when it counts the most. But check out what is in the newest patch…
Tutorial Improvements:
Improved text and images
Added some new steps and moved some existing steps
Added verticle movement instructions
Players could previously fail the tutorial due to lost income. Now the economy doesn’t kick in until the late stage of the tutorial
Added tooltips to the Continue button and Minimize and Close options
Saving in Game:
When starting a new game, a save reminder will pop up after 10 minutes, if the game has not been manually saved during that time
When exiting the Main Menu, a confirmation dialog is displayed to prevent people from losing their progress
General:
Added Day and Night on/off toggle option to New Game panel
Brightened up the darkest time of night on all maps
Nights are now brighter in the North biome due to it being a lot darker than the other maps
Added Controller help to the Pause Menu and Main Menu
Ray pointer no longer passes through Main Menu panels
Tunnels did not deform the terrain correctly; they now cut the terrain to show the tunnel underneath
Corrected and optimized some buildings
Reduced the distance of the palette switching icons and removed the haptic feedback from the outer distance
Moved Bulldoze from the Y button to the X button. Added Back to Y (in addition to the existing mapping of B on the right controller). Updated current tutorial texts to use the right mappings
Changed the option radio buttons to checkboxes in the New Game menu
Removed red lead in arrow sprite used on sliders

Fix to tears in-between patches of water when the player rotates quickly
Controllers that run out of batteries or are otherwise disconnected, are now turned invisible and not static in front of the player
Improved map edges
Added a minimize button to Discord message
Added animated FTG logo on the VR intro
That is a lot for the first patch, and that’s not even all. The newest update will allow citizens to find their way across the Cities underground system and provide mayors with improved tools to direct the flow of traffic.
The patch is live now, and the Metro & Traffic Routing update will be coming in June 2022. If you haven’t yet grabbed the keys to the city, you can get Cities VR now for the Quest 2 on the Oculus Store.
