  • The game offers a fun and unique way to socialize and create friendships with people from all over the world.
  • It provides a large variety of avatars and worlds to explore, supporting user-generated content and customization.
  • The mobile version allows players to experience VRChat on the go, with generally good performance on high-end devices.
  • The mobile version suffers from frequent bugs and crashes, especially related to logging in, audio/microphone failures, and random disconnections.
  • The app is locked to portrait mode without landscape support, which frustrates many players and impacts usability.
  • There are insufficient moderation and safety measures leading to concerns about inappropriate content and exposure of minors to unsafe environments.

  • optimization

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    42% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, especially on mobile and standalone Quest versions, causing performance issues, frequent glitches, and audio problems. Users find the forced login after closing the app and lack of customization in graphics settings frustrating. While it may run smoothly on high-end devices, significant improvements in optimization are needed for a better experience.

    • “I never expected that this would run smoothly but it did and it's awesome!”
    • “Pretty good, just needs heavy optimization like Arknights Endfield.”
    • “It's good but optimizations for mobile are bad; please add more settings in the graphics settings for better optimization.”
    • “The game has terrible optimization and the fact that you have to keep logging in every time you close and open the app is really frustrating.”
    • “Push to talk is the only option for talking and the button moves when you open any menu. The game is poorly optimized and ruined the standalone Quest version, and you will always have to log in if you close the app.”
    • “Bad game performance and audio issues on Android-based platforms (mobile and Quest). Not recommended to install.”

  • stability

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    9% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 91% negative mentions

    The stability of the game is inconsistent, with frequent reports of lag, freezing, crashes, and glitches, particularly on mobile devices which also tend to overheat quickly. While the PC version offers graphics settings for better performance, the mobile version lacks these options, contributing to its instability. Overall, users find the experience buggy and unstable, though some acknowledge it may improve beyond the current beta stage.

    • “a26: works, but it's very lagging a lot, overheats, and similarly either glitches or crashes.”
    • “Join a world, you get smooth frames for like 2 seconds before it just freezes entirely, and won't fix itself.”
    • “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.”

  • graphics

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

    Users appreciate the high-quality graphics, especially on PC and mobile, but note significant optimization issues on mobile devices, including frequent lag, crashes, and overheating. Many suggest adding comprehensive graphics settings (e.g., low to ultra, refresh rate options) to improve performance and customization. Overall, while the visuals are praised, mobile optimization and customization need considerable improvement.

    • “Sure, if you go to a heavy graphically 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 take too much time to load even under standard conditions.”
    • “VRC PC version has graphics settings in the settings page but VRC mobile does not. It really needs to be added so we can adjust the game graphics in the experience settings. Sometimes it lags and sometimes it freezes, plus my mobile overheats very fast when I load even a small map.”
    • “The game easily crashes, so I suggest adding graphics settings for mobile.”
    • “Developer needs to add graphic settings selector such as low, mid, high, ultra, refresh rate type, 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

    The story aspect receives little direct commentary, with most user feedback focusing on technical issues like optimization, orientation glitches, and login inconveniences. These performance problems somewhat detract from the overall experience, though users still find the game enjoyable as an accessible option across different platforms.

  • gameplay

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users find the gameplay and controls enjoyable and comparable to the headset experience, praising the graphics on mobile. However, some mention issues like crashes during gameplay and lack of tablet compatibility. Overall, the gameplay is considered fun and well-executed.

    • “The gameplay and controls are great, the graphics look so good on phone, and overall it's just as fun as playing on headset (well, minus the VR part).”
    • “Amazing gameplay, just wish it was tablet-compatible. It sometimes crashes during gameplay, but it's still a good game. Keep up the good work!”

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users find the music aspect frustrating due to the inability to play music on the TV, limiting their audio experience.
