Getting into RecVard

Everything goes through the RecVard Launcher on PC, or the Meta page on Quest. No patches, no console commands, no config files.

On PC

  1. Download the launcher

    Get RecLauncher.exe from the Download page. Windows 10 or 11.

  2. Open it

    If you see "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway.

  3. Install or locate

    Install Rec Room 2025 or 2026 (about 6.7 GB, checked after download), or choose a folder you already have.

  4. Play

    Choose Desktop, or VR with your headset connected, and press Play. Make your account in game.

Questions

Windows says "Windows protected your PC"
That's SmartScreen: it shows for small apps that aren't from a big publisher. Click More info, then Run anyway. You can compare the file's SHA-256 above with what you downloaded to be sure it's ours.
Which build should I pick, 2025 or 2026?
Both work on RecVard. 2025 is the July 2025 game; 2026 is the March 2026 game. Your account, friends and rooms are the same on both. If you're not sure, start with 2025.
How do I play in VR on PC?
Connect your headset (Quest Link, Air Link or SteamVR) first, switch the launcher to VR, then press Play.
I already downloaded Rec Room before
Open the launcher and press Find existing installs, pick your folder, or drag the folder onto the launcher. It checks the folder and sets it up for RecVard; nothing is downloaded again.
How much space do I need?
About 7 GB for one build (the launcher checks your free space before it downloads).
Do I need an account?
Make one in game the first time you play, or with the Discord bot. The same login works on this website.

Stuck?

Ask in the Discord: someone usually answers fast. Include a screenshot of the launcher.
