so i was doomscrolling yt shorts and came across this video how did they do this?????????

just found this new and upcoming game on the ps5 store called rec room and it seems cool! we should wishlist it!

We discovered this game back in 2020 on the ps4 store and from then on it became me and my cousin's favorite game since it was free and fun to play. Then later on we also got it on the quest store and played it all the time from then on. I wish i couldve saved my avatar but sadly i didnt know how to do it and i ran out of time 💔

I forgot to download 332 images brooooo

When the game shut down and the merch store closed, what happened to the remaining merch? Was it given to staff? Stored away? Whatever it may be.

I want to take a few things off my chest.

Rec Room was the best VR game I ever played in my life. Rec Room, to be honest, was the first multiplayer game I ever downloaded on VR. I played Rec Room since 2019 but lost 2 accounts.

Ever since it shut down, I’ve been thinking a lot about what happened. In my opinion, one thing that may have contributed was Roomie and the AI features. Since AI has to run on servers, I wonder if it increased the cost of keeping the servers running and maintaining the game. I don’t know if that actually caused the shutdown, but it’s something I’ve thought about.

No matter what the reason was, I really miss Rec Room. It wasn’t just another VR game—it was where I made memories, met friends, and spent countless hours having fun.

Rec Room will always be a part of my life, and I’ll never forget everything it gave me. Thank you for all the memories. And no matter what… I’ll always give it my Rec Room best. ❤️

Since Rec Room shut down on the 1st, my friend has been downloading player data and images from rec.net from the 1st through the 16th over the last few weeks we have been putting all of the information together to create a timeline as a way to remember everyone who was still here in those final days/moments. All dates are based on New Zealand time.

If you were active during that window, take a look and see if you're on there. Thank you to everyone who made this community what it was.

If your missing or dont have a profile picture but would like one to be added contact me on discord at _.said.

This is a long one so if you’re not interested in reading a big paragraph about someone’s take on something, don’t bother. Nonetheless it’s still… maybe mildly interesting to read?

A big question that I’ve always asked myself is What made Rec Room so special? Well, in my opinion it’s a plethora of things. I’ve been playing Rec Room since 2019 and transitioned to playing on a Meta Quest 2 in 2021, which is what I still play on now! So if that helps solidify that I have a little bit of experience throughout the game’s lifespan, if you’d even call it a game. What do I mean? I feel like only calling Rec Room just a ‘game’ isn’t very accurate to what it was. Honestly from all of the games I’ve ever played, Rec Room stands out on such a different level. Now if you wanted the real-deal Rec Room experience you had to have played on VR (in my opinion). VR itself already opens so many more possibilities to gaming itself and takes it from being y’know, a game, to being so much more. Now other games utilize that quite horribly sometimes, like ahem… VRchat. BUT, the way Rec Room did it was so… unique. Now to be honest, I think it was completely unintentional. Rec Room was originally just basically Wii Sports in VR, but when they mix so many unique ways of interacting as well as the light-hearted nature of the game, it just clicks. Take the party, friend, and revive features. To party you literally had to fist bump someone, to friend you had to give a handshake, and to revive someone you had to give them a high-five. That sort of interaction just makes everything feel more friendly in a way.

Let’s not even get started on the theme. Just the actual gameplay and theme mix together so well. The entire theme revolves around a college campus. Take that and new players who might feel shy or unfamiliar when starting out to meeting new people, making friends, etc… It really has that sort of social feeling out of something you’d get in real-world interactions. That’s unique. Really unique. Rec Room really did feel like a college too! Sports, Quests (literally just theatre plays), and even classes that were hosted! The events feature was honestly my favorite, well, aside from when those military games started coming around. Now look at the Maker Pen. Literally just a hot glue gun and it opened possibilities to so many things and had a very arts-and-crafts feel to it. Let’s not even get started on the community. People in the Creative Club were some of the most amazing, nice, and tangible people I’ve ever met (I’ve actually met Meriesa before). Speaking of clubs, look at those! There were so many clubs for so many different communities. Can’t forget leagues either, those had great communities too! Just all of these things blended together so well and just… fit. We had major events too, like the Reclympics or Rec Con for example! All of these things just made the game feel so personal in a way. This is exactly why I just cannot say that Rec Room was just a game.

That’s where I get to now, and I feel like the best way to truly label Rec Room is NOT a game, but more like a social sandbox, or even a ‘third place’ in a way. Think about it, during COVID 19 we all had nothing better to do, or even before & after it. A lot of people would go to work/school, come home, do some things, and go straight into this entire different world with a whole community and experience that set itself so differently from others. Now this is a little different for each person because a lot of people weren’t very involved in the community at all and basically just used it as an alternative Roblox or VRchat, so it can be hard to understand a viewpoint like this is you didn’t experience it, but it was amazing. I literally grew up around this game for years and it actually taught me a lot of lessons about doing right things and being involved in your community. I’m 16 and I’ve actually been volunteering at a few places. It’s just something that’s so different about Rec Room that stood out from any other game I’ve ever played. It was so much more. The term “Give it your Rec Room best!” didn’t make as much sense to me as it does now, because I fully understand the meaning. It means to be creative, kind, social, involved, and most especially optimistic. Rec Room may be gone, but the influence of it and the culture lives on as a little part in everyone who experienced it.

To summarize everything, Rec Room’s deep community and creative focus mixed with the theme and environment of an actual college gave such a unique experience that isn’t like other game. Even titles like VRchat can’t compare quite the same, since at its core it kind of is just a Roblox for VR sort of thing. Sure, Rec Room started leaning that way too after a while, but still!

Additional Note: Rec Room was only Rec Room from 2016-2023

That’s all from me. Thank you for reading! (if you did :p)

If GRIBBLY Comments on this that will make my day

like in the video Exporting Your Creation Data

was it cause They Were Sad Or Something?

Probably not since it was written in finale? If anything is there tabs for the guitar for any of the tracks? Stunt Runner guitar 👀

I was originally looking for anything but realizing that may not be a choice or in my best interest, I have narrowed it down to three things:

The Rec room Watch

– Probably the hardest thing to get and will most likely take the longest. Though, I'm willing to pay 500-800 dollars, and more if it comes to it.

Rec Room Hat

– This can be any hat except the ones with the rec room logo on it (unless if it's stitched)

The Rec Room Mug

– From what I have seen, I know how the original one looks and how fakes look.

Please let me know if you can help me! I look forward to hearing back from somebody!

I assume putting these under self promotion is probably the best idea, but I’m not necessarily looking to gain anything out of this.

I have made a few playlists that are Rec Room related for your convenience.

I was never able to buy any merch due to financial difficulties, but now I’ve finally saved money and I think I’m able to buy some stuff off of anyone that wants to sell theirs! I just want to have something in my room to remind me of this none replaceable awesome experience that rec room was <:)

For anyone who doesn't know. I used to make Rec Room Tales, the most popular one being "Quest For The Golden Trophy". I stopped playing Rec Room and stopped making the tales. With Rec Room shutting down I made a video talking about some tales I had plans for.

Hope you enjoy.

Im not talking about the near future just anytime in the future. I wonder if the devs will like try to recreate it after a few years or so?

If you think they wont tell me why you think that way too. im just curious
