VRChat 2026.1.1

Features

World Favorites Increase

This release doubles the amount of world favorites for VRC+ subscribers!

This is now live! That means if you're subscribed to VRC+, your world favorites will jump from 400 to 800! Four new rows! Woo!

As a heads up (and you'll see this if you watch the Video Patch Notes!) we initially planned to wait a little bit before flipping this switch... but we're just doing it now! So uh, apologies for the confusion!

We also added in some QoL changes for organizing your world favorites. Go look at Changes & Fixes to see them.

Group Progress Bar

We're experimenting with a new progress bar for users who have joined fewer than 15 groups. If you haven't joined that many groups yet, there's a chance you'll see a bar on the Groups page that tracks your progress.

Essentially, we'd like to encourage newer users to try out features like Groups, so we're trying to gently nudge them to... well, do exactly that!

There is no "reward" for completing this, uh, challenge. The stakes have never been lower! (There is a little fanfare for completing it, though -- but, like, that's just for fun.)

Group Auto Invitations

Another experiment! If you hang around in a Group instance for a long enough period of time, you may receive an automatic invitation to join that particular group.

This only applies to groups that are public with open invitations enabled. You (and the group!) will have to be in the test cohort for this to trigger.

Likewise, if you make a friend in a Group instance (under the same conditions!) you might also receive a group invitation.

If you'd rather not see these automatic invitations, you can toggle them off! Go to Settings -> User Interface -> Notifications -> Automatic Group Invitations.

Live Now... for Everyone!

The Main Menu "Live Now" tab and subsequent Quick Menu Launchpad redesign has been rolled out to all users!

This was introduced in the previous patch, but should now be turned on for all users.

Changes & Fixes
