Virtual Hunter is a huge open-world hunting simulation
After three years of development, the VR hunting game Virtual Hunter has left early access on Steam.
Virtual Hunter by Finnish development studio Korpi Games is available as a full release since January 15, 2025. According to the developers, the game is now feature complete.
According to the Steam description, the VR hunting simulation features a large, open hunting ground where animals such as the majestic red deer, the elusive brown hare, wild boar and fallow deer roam free in the wilderness. Players can pack their gear, master realistic weapon handling and ballistics on the shooting range, and then head out into the open wilderness. Up to six players can hunt, trek and strategize together to bag the biggest trophy.
Each hunt is a new adventure as animals appear in new locations each time. How you hunt is up to you: You can track animals, use blinds, or just follow your instincts. The weapon stabilization system allows for accurate shots from long distances.
Each species has its behavior, which makes hunting challenging and interesting. Animals use their senses to see, smell, and hear hunters. Capital trophy animals have sharper senses, which makes hunting more difficult, but also more rewarding. Virtual Hunter includes a unique trophy display system that allows you to freely place the prepared trophies in your hunting lodge.
You can purchase Virtual Hunter on Steam. To celebrate the launch, new players can pick the game up 20% off from the current price of $20, before the price will increase to $25 on January 22nd.

Finnish VR studio Korpi Games was founded in 2022, and consists of a small team of developers. As studio founder Jesse Passoja explains, the goal from the beginning was to create the most realistic VR hunting game possible.
Development took over three years to explore the limits of open-world gaming in VR. A lot of attention was paid to details such as believable ballistics, animal behavior, and the unique trophy system.
Virtual Hunter will appeal to hunting enthusiasts looking for the most authentic simulation possible, as well as nature lovers who simply want to explore the open world and enjoy the flora and fauna.
