  • The game supports a large variety of avatars and worlds, enabling players to meet new friends and enjoy diverse experiences even without VR hardware.
  • The app runs relatively well on high-end phones, with smooth gameplay and good graphics, making it a fun and accessible platform for many users.
  • The app suffers from severe performance issues on mobile, including lag, crashing, overheating, and excessive battery drain, especially on mid-range or lower-end devices.
  • The user interface and controls are poorly optimized for mobile, with forced portrait mode, lack of customizable controls, and push-to-talk voice chat being major user complaints.

  • optimization

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 31% neutral mentions, 31% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, especially on mobile and standalone VR devices, leading to frequent performance issues, low FPS, and audio glitches. Users report forced logins, mic problems, and a lack of adequate graphics settings for smoother gameplay. While some find it runs smoothly on high-end phones, overall optimization remains disappointing and needs significant improvement.

    • “Runs smoothly and works great on the go.”
    • “I never expected that this would run smoothly but it did and it's awesome!”
    • “Pretty good, just needs heavy optimization like Arknights Endfield.”
    • “Vrchat is so poorly optimized that it genuinely made my phone unusable and forced me to restart it completely.”
    • “Frequent updates of 100-200 MB for something that doesn't feel like it was properly optimized for phones.”
    • “The game has terrible optimizations and the fact that you have to keep logging in every time you close and open the app is really frustrating.”

  • stability

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    7% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 93% negative mentions

    The game experiences frequent stability issues, including lag, freezing, glitches, and crashes, especially when joining worlds or using certain features like the camera. Users report overheating on mobile devices and inconsistent performance, suggesting it may still be in beta. Despite these problems, some players appreciate the overall experience but recommend improvements to address bugs and optimize stability.

    • “I try and take pictures and after taking out the camera a second time it instantly freezes my game and I have to restart my app.”
    • “Join a world, you get smooth frames for like 2 seconds before it just freezes entirely and won't fix itself.”
    • “Very laggy, bunch of glitches, it's not letting me in, I didn't even sign or login in, I wouldn't recommend it.”

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for looking good, especially on mobile, but users frequently report performance issues like lag, frame drops, crashes, and overheating during heavy scenes. Many suggest the addition of adjustable graphics settings to improve optimization and stability on mobile devices. Overall, while the visual quality is appreciated, better optimization and customization options are needed.

    • “Sure, if you go to a heavily graphical world or too many people inside the world, it will drop a frame but it is still playable.”
    • “The gameplay and controls are great, the graphics look so good on phone, and overall it's just as fun as playing on headset.”
    • “Developer needs to add graphic settings selector such as low, mid, high, ultra, refresh rate type, because 3D models need too much time to load even on standard conditions.”
    • “The game easily crashes so I suggest adding graphics settings for mobile.”
    • “The PC version has graphics settings, but the mobile version does not. There is a need to add them so we can adjust the graphics in the experience settings. Sometimes it lags and freezes, and my mobile overheats quickly when loading even small maps.”
    • “The developer needs to add graphic settings selectors such as low, mid, high, ultra, and refresh rate options because 3D models take too much time to load even under standard conditions; UFS 2.1 is really the bare minimum for this kind of program.”

  • story

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 75% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    Users find the story aspect of the game to be generally okay and enjoyable, but technical issues like constant screen orientation changes and poor optimization on standalone devices detract from the overall experience.

However, some users report occasional crashes, and there is a desire for tablet compatibility to enhance accessibility. Overall, the gameplay is considered fun and well-executed.

    • “The gameplay and controls are great, the graphics look amazing on phone, and overall it's just as fun as playing on a headset (well, minus the VR part).”
    • “Amazing game; if only it's tablet compatible. It also crashes during gameplay. Why is everyone hating? It's a good game—keep up the good work!”
