- TGC:VR Patch 1.10 Notes: Thursday, February 23rd - 23 February 2017
Tomorrow we will be saying goodbye to Early Access and officially launch The Golf Club VR. It’s been an amazing run, and we’ve had a blast engaging with our community and watching our game take shape with all of your help! We’re extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we owe much of what this game is to all of you who supported us over the past 4.5 months with feedback, feature suggestions, and bug reports. Thank You! Now that we are leaving Early Access, we’ve closed the Beta Branch and released the most performant version of TGCVR to date with this update.

- TGC:VR Patch 1.09 Notes: Wednesday, February 8th - 8 February 2017
Many long awaited changes are making their way into our builds with this update, that’s right, I said builds. First off, we have finally got our hands on Oculus Touch and addressed many of the issues plaguing the Oculus Community in TGCVR. We have also reworked the tutorial for any new Touch users who make their way to the game moving forward. In other notable news, we also have a Beta branch available for you to test out. This includes a version of TGCVR on par with the new update with an engine upgrade to Unity 5.5. The reason we are putting this out as a Beta for now is to get it in your hands a little early. There are still some bugs due to the upgrade and optimizations to take place in order to get the full affect. However we feel that it’s in a good spot now to let you experience what we have been working on. Testing the Beta To install the beta you will need to use the following…

- TGCVR Final Release Date Update - 25 November 2016
Over the past five months, The Golf Club VR team has been hard at work in the effort to provide the best golfing experience on the HTC Vive. We are currently on track with our original goals of the project and believe we have delivered a great experience, as supported by all the positive reviews we’ve been receiving for which we are very much appreciative. Throughout development and Early Access on Steam, we have received a lot of positive and constructive feedback from our community to help us get to the point we are now.

With that in mind, we have decided to move the full release date of The Golf Club VR from December 2016 to early February 2017. We will use this additional time to continue to fine tune our gameplay mechanics, improve optimizations as well as add…
