A new version of Board Games VR has just been released to the Steam store.

This release comes with huge improvements to the default scenery as well as bug fixes and other improvements.

Most of the game has been re-written and reconfigured from ground up to support all available VR headsets in the market as well as their controllers.

If you stay long enough in the game (around 1 hour), you may notice how dynamic the environment really is.
