Virtual Cottage 2 news & patch notes

Version: 1.1.19

(For multiplayer to work correctly, you must be on the latest version!)

Hey everyone,

Based on your feedback, some fixes and adjustments were made to Virtual Cottage 2:

• Spring items now show up in the item selection menu for desk clutter items in the Apartment

• Daily bonus items should be properly claimable past midnight again

• MAC only: Fullscreen should work properly now

• Removed duplicate audio in the playlist

Thank you for using Virtual Cottage 2! :)

Version: 1.1.18

With this fairly large update, we want to celebrate spring together with all of you while also introducing more quality-of-life features requested by the community. 🌸

SPRING UPDATE 2026 Additions and Changes:

New Locations:

• Train Compartment (2 Player non-customizable)

• Co-Working Space (8 Player non-customizable)

Item Unlocks:

• Added 40 Spring-themed items claimable in the new presents tab

• Removed "Next unlock" countdown and replaced it with a fixed date

Character Customization:

• Added accessories and beards (accessible via the numbered menu next to the hair color options)

• Added two new hairstyles

Widget Mode:

Many of you asked for a Widget Mode so you could keep your timer and active session visible while working or studying. You can now activate Widget Mode through the new icon above the clock in the bottom right corner. It can even be combined with the new “Always On Top” option to keep it visible above all other windows.

Please note that Widget Mode is designed to support your active session and is not intended to replace the full Virtual Cottage 2 experience.

Multiplayer:

• Café can now be exited through the Cottage Selection

• Cafés now have randomized names!

• You can now switch seats in the Café

• Hover over a friend to see their current session (for privacy reasons, this is OFF by default and needs to be turned on in the settings. It's disabled for the Café!)

• Pets are being synced now, which means you'll see the host's pets, not your own, when visiting others

Music:

• FLAC support added

• Added two new free tracks ("Climb" & "Talk") by the talented Dreeme

Journal:

• Checked tasks now appear in the Journal

Settings:

• Added an option to toggle the Ghost

• Added Widget Mode resolutions

• Added Share the current session with other players

• Added To-Do-List visibility toggle

• Added Train Compartment Animation toggle

• Removed "Fullscreen" toggle and replaced it with an icon in the bottom right corner, just above the settings cogwheel

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug where there was sunlight while rain was toggled on

• Invisible fairy lights in the Apartment kitchen were removed

• The white line between the kitchen and the side room in the Cottage got fixed

As always, thank you so much for all your feedback and support. We’re always happy to hear your constructive feedback and suggestions as we continue improving the game together.

Version: 1.1.11

(For multiplayer to work correctly, you must be on the latest version!)

Hey everyone,

Based on your feedback, some fixes and adjustments were made to Virtual Cottage 2:

Major fixes:

• Players turning invisible during multiplayer sessions: This was caused by short disconnects, which prevented packages from being sent correctly. To prevent the asynchronicity, we'll 'properly' disconnect you, to avoid any confusion. You can rejoin the session anytime.

• The dots in the journal should now be updated correctly (also retroactively)

Minor changes:

• To avoid confusion, the dark silhouettes for the locations the player hasn't visited yet were removed from the game and exchanged with coloured variations. (This mostly affects newer players, as most existing users will have visited the locations already)

• Received chat messages during a multiplayer session will now make a sound to notify you, in case you have the game minimized or are focused on something else. This can be turned on/off by clicking on the speaker icon to the bottom right of the chat window.

Thank you for using Virtual Cottage 2!

Version: 1.1.9

(For multiplayer to work correctly, you must be on the latest version!) Hey everyone, With this patch, we want to address the following:

• Fixed a layering issue that affected multiplayer sessions

• Added a "Open save file" button to the settings

Thank you for your continued support and feedback! :)

Version: 1.1.7 (For multiplayer to work correctly, you must be on the latest version!) Based on your feedback, some changes were made to Virtual Cottage 2: Major changes:

• Fixed a bug where the to-do list got scrambled

• Added frame rate limiter in the settings (default FPS is set to 60)

Minor changes:

• Chat: Font is a bit bigger now

• Localization fixes

• You can no longer pet the 'empty' space where your pet was sitting

• Adjusted character and pet positions in the apartment slightly

• Adjusted the light coming from the apartment window

Item changes:

• Added 3 new rugs, unlocked for everyone

• Added Juice box and empty coffee cups, unlocked for everyone

• The mini plant trio from the daily unlocks is now placeable

• Tweaked some items in the apartment to avoid clipping

• Bauhaus chair and Bauhaus table sorting order adjusted

Version: 1.1.4

(For multiplayer to work correctly, you must be on the latest version!)

Visuals:

• You can no longer stand on the plant on the balcony ;D. This layering issue is now fixed.

• The blue/green tile oven in the apartment was clipping into the wall. It was slightly moved

• A mid-century cupboard was displaying a broken sprite (probably none of you unlocked this one yet, but if you did, it is now fixed!)

• Moved the positions of the characters on the big table in the café. You can't hide your laptop fully behind the arch anymore!!!

Steam Cloud:

• The path of your chosen music folder will no longer be synced by Steam Cloud. This was causing issues for people with multiple devices.

Localisation:

• Minor adjustments

Misc:

• You can now pet the Duck at the Duckpond!!

• The "Open Savegame" Button in the Settings was removed for now, since it didn't open the correct path on MAC 🙁

Dear friends,

It’s finally here!!! 🎉

Just over a month ago, we released the demo, and it’s been incredible to see how you’ve decorated your cottages, shared your feedback, and even helped us track down bugs (oops 😁).

Since then, we’ve been hard at work fixing those issues and implementing some of the most requested features. We couldn’t get to everything just yet, but don’t worry, this is only the beginning. We have so many more ideas and plans for Virtual Cottage 2, and we’re really excited for what’s ahead!

Thank you so much for all your support so far. ❤️

We hope Virtual Cottage 2 helps you along your journey, whether it’s for school, studying, or any goals you’ve set for yourself.

Dear friends,

We’re excited to finally share that Virtual Cottage 2 will launch on March 27, 2026 for $7.99 USD! 🎉

We’ve gotten so much amazing feedback from the demo ❤️, and we spent a lot of time thinking about whether we should delay the release by a few months to fit in everything people asked for. In the end, we decided the game is already in a really great place. We’re adding some of the most requested features now, and the rest will follow after launch.

This is just the beginning of the journey, and we have lots and lots of plans for VC2. Thank you so much for all the support so far. We’re really excited for what’s ahead! 😁

Hello everyone, We’re incredibly happy to finally share the Virtual Cottage 2 Demo with you!

Dear friends,

We are proud to announce that Virtual Cottage 2 will come with multiplayer!! Designed to be calm, cozy, and distraction-free.

You will be able to invite friends into your cottage to study together, work on school or university projects, or simply keep each other company while focusing.

Of course, you will also be able to visit them and marvel at their beautifully decorated cottage as well ;D

And if you're planning a bigger outing, we will also have special locations that fit larger groups, for example, a cafe!

Cozy focus is better together 🏡✨

Hellooo Cottage Dwellers!!

We know maaany of you are eagerly awaiting the release of Virtual Cottage 2. Right now, we are hard at work to get the game finished and we have some very cool features planned.

We are super excited for you to see what we've been cooking!!!

BUT it will take a little while longer until you can play it 😭 🙏 We are aiming for a Q2 2026 release. It's still too early for an exact date, and it might even take us a bit longer.

On the upside, we are already doing beta tests right now and are aiming to get a demo finished a lot sooner. We look forward to all your feedback!!

And since this question comes up a lot:

Virtual Cottage 2 will not be free.

It will be a much bigger game than the first Virtual Cottage, but we have not decided on a price yet.

If you'd like to be up-to-date with the development or leave us some more input, you’re welcome to join our discord :) Thank you for your continued support ❤️
