“Crafting subtitles in VR required a massive overhaul of industry best practices—but we truly believe in ‘VR for Everyone’ and are proud to bring VR to a whole new audience with this update,” says Peter Galbraith, Developer at Owlchemy Labs, in a prepared statement. “From the deaf and hard of hearing community to players around the world, everyone deserves a vacation.”Just like everything Owlchemy Labs does, the subtitles feel like organic parts of the world in Vacation Simulator and are super playful.
In, the company details the process and methodology of adding support emphasizing the importance of making them feel like they “belong” in the world so as to avoid words simply floating for no reason in your field of view.They’re shown at the depth of the speaker so they feel anchored and even go transparent when you need to interact with things behind them. When you’re streaming or recording footage, they’re shown at the bottom of the screen in Spectator Mode to make for a better viewer experience.The subtitles update is out now on Steam and Oculus Home with the PSVR update coming soon. When the Quest version launches this feature will be included from day one later this year. There’s no word on if this feature will come to Job Simulator and Rick and Morty VR.
Just in time for summer! The days are getting hotter, bandwidth for activities is increasing, and there’s no better way to spend summer than enjoying a virtual approximation of vacation! We’re excited to announce that Vacation Simulator will be available at VR arcades near you later this month on May 28.
We’re thrilled to bring optimal relaxation to even more fans through VR arcades, and can’t wait to see what adventures you go on!

Just in Time for Summer— Owlchemy Labs Brings ‘Vacation Simulator’ to VR Arcades
The follow-up to VR hit ‘Job Simulator’ will release May 28 for LBE on Steam and SpringboardVR
Apr 09, 2019 'Vacation Simulator' is a seemingly familiar dive back into the whimsical world of 'Job Simulator', although this time around the studio has added a fair bit of structure and story to the game. Job Simulator was one of PlayStation VR's first games, a series of silly sandboxes stuffed with interactive objects and madcap characters.
AUSTIN, Texas — May 15, 2019 — Owlchemy Labs today announced plans to release their latest virtual reality (VR) title ‘Vacation Simulator’ for VR arcades on May 28. Commercial licensing options for the studio’s highly-anticipated title will be available for location-based entertainment (LBE) operators on Steam and SpringboardVR.
“With VR, experiencing is believing—VR arcades make it easy for anyone curious about VR to have that pivotal first-time experience,” says Autumn Taylor, Studio Director at Owlchemy Labs. “We are excited to bring Vacation Simulator to VR arcades, and can’t wait to give everyone from die-hard VR fans to first-time players an incredible experience.”
The latest title from the creators of ‘Job Simulator’ and ‘Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality’, Vacation Simulator presents a humorous, fully-interactive experience built from the ground-up for VR. Players explore the vibrant world of Vacation Island and interact with a colorful cast of characters to discover the true meaning of ‘time off’. The game’s Beach, Forest, Mountain, and Resort destinations allow players to experience typical vacation activities with a not-so-typical twist due to robot misinterpretations of human pastimes.
Owlchemy’s first VR game Job Simulator was a launch title for consumer VR headsets in 2016 to commercial success and consistent popularity in VR arcades. The studio hopes to see similar success with Vacation Simulator in the LBE space, and for the continued growth of the consumer VR market in the coming years.
“Our goal at Owlchemy is to make ‘VR for everyone’,” says Devin Reimer, Chief Executive Owl at Owlchemy Labs. “And there is truly something for everyone to enjoy in this ridiculous world we’ve created.”
The consumer version of Vacation Simulator is available now on Steam and Oculus, with a planned release for PlayStation VR on June 18, and Oculus Quest this winter 2019.
