Google VR studio Owlchemy’s two VR games surpass 1 million copies sold

Owlchemy Labs, a VR studio owned by Google, announced on November 20, 2023 that "Vacation Simulator", the sequel to "Work Simulator", has reached platinum level sales, which means it has exceeded 1 million copies. In other words, the team currently has two VR works that have sold more than one million copies

"Vacation Simulator" is priced at $29.99. Excluding regional selling prices and preferential promotions, this work that supports platforms such as Steam, Sony PS Store, and Meta Quest Store has brought nearly 30 million US dollars in revenue (approximately RMB 220 million) to the studio.

Thanks to its fun and easy-to-learn gameplay, and as the first release for HTC VIVE, PSVR and Oculus Touch in 2016, the $19.99 "Job Simulator" achieved platinum sales in early 2020.

This also proves the staying power of "Job Simulator", which is still a best-selling work on mainstream VR headset platforms. Owlchemy Labs says it is now a "multi-platinum selling title" since first reaching platinum status in 2020.

Building on the success of Job Simulator, Vacation Simulator continues the madness and gameplay of the original and allows players to explore an idyllic virtual destination while engaging in a variety of activities.

Owlchemy Labs was founded in 2010 and acquired by Google in 2017. The company also developed the Emmy-nominated "Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality," based on the hit TV series "Rick and Morty," as well as the 2022 release "Global High."

To celebrate the fact that "Vacation Simulator" has now reached platinum sales, Owlchemy Labs has recently updated "Vacation Simulator" and "Uniworld High School" based on Quest 3, bringing enhanced visual effects and 90fps frame rate support.
