Magic Madness VR News & Patch Notes

A new update has arrived, bringing a new way to practice, quality-of-life improvements, and several bug fixes to improve the overall experience.

Let's get into it.

🎯 Practice Range

A brand-new Practice Range has been added, giving players a dedicated space to test spells, experiment with different builds, and sharpen their skills before jumping into battle.

✨ New Spell Selector

We've introduced a new Spell Selector with an improved interface, making it easier to browse and choose your loadout before each match.

🎁 Extended Battle Pass

The current Battle Pass has been extended, giving everyone more time to unlock rewards and complete their progression.

🔧 Gameplay & General Improvements

Fixed bot movement at the start of matches.
Improved lighting on the Start Map.

💣 Custom Games no longer grant rewards

Progression is now earned through real PvP matches, ensuring every level and reward reflects battles against other players and creating a more balanced competitive experience.

🔥Hot Fixes

We've fixed several issues reported by the community, including:

Players will no longer lose movement or spell casting when an emote overlaps the round countdown and match start.
Player profiles now correctly display owned heroes instead of unowned heroes as the most-used hero or favorite skin.
Element icons now display correctly in the Floating Menu.
The multiplayer lobby video now displays as intended.

Jump into the Practice Range, try out the new Spell Selector, and we'll see you in battle!

This update is not about new spells or heroes. It is about strengthening the game’s technical foundation, improving VR stability, and preparing Magic Madness VR for future updates, including our upcoming Meta Quest standalone release.

Let’s get into it.

⚙️ Magic Madness VR engine upgrade Magic Madness VR has been upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.7, giving the game a stronger technical foundation for future updates.

🥽 Improved VR stability This upgrade helps us build a more consistent and reliable in-headset experience, with fewer edge-case issues during VR gameplay.

📱 Stronger standalone VR foundation The update improves the game’s technical base for Quest-class standalone VR devices, including better support for Android, Vulkan, and mobile rendering workflows.

This is also a key step toward bringing Magic Madness VR to Meta Quest as a free-to-play standalone experience with cross-platform multiplayer. More on that very soon.

🚀 Better performance optimization path Newer engine tools give us more room to improve performance, tune rendering, and keep gameplay feeling smooth in VR.

🔍 Improved debugging and profiling We now have better tools to identify performance issues in Magic Madness VR and make more accurate optimization decisions.

🧩 Better memory handling The upgrade gives us a stronger foundation for managing texture memory and reducing visual or memory-related issues.

🛠️ Cleaner foundation for future updates Moving to a newer engine version helps reduce old workarounds and technical limitations, making future Magic Madness VR updates easier to build and maintain.

🎮 What this means for players This is a behind-the-scenes update, but an important one: a more stable, smoother, and better-prepared Magic Madness VR experience going forward.
