Evaluation

Animal Company is a multiplayer VR game currently in Early Access on Steam, having launched on May 21, 2026. Before its Steam debut, it had already been running on Meta Quest since 2024, where it became the #1 Bestseller in 2025 and grew a community of over 430,000 Discord members. Since launch, Wooster Games has maintained an extremely high pace of development. Eight major content updates have shipped between May and August 2026, adding entirely new environments (a zero-G Space zone on June 16, a Soccer Field recreation center on June 23, a full new lobby on July 8, a Canopy Biolab adventure on July 21, a Stage 6 Kitchen on July 14, and the Backrooms area on August 5), alongside new monsters, weapons, quests, cosmetics, and a major crossplay update between Meta Quest and SteamVR on July 28. The most recent major update shipped on August 11, 2026, followed by a bug fix patch on August 15, 2026 — just two days before today's date. The store description explicitly describes the game as continuously evolving, with "every update unpredictable" in its new procedural maps, quests, and physics items. The game also features rotating weekly challenges ("Canopy Weekly Challenges"), a seasonal VIP pass with new items, and a rotating shop — all hallmarks of a game built for ongoing content delivery. There is no indication from the developer that development is slowing down or approaching a 1.0 release.

About this game

Animal Company is a chaotic multiplayer VR adventure where you and your friends play as thick-cheeked animals to explore haunted worlds, fight monsters, uncover secret lab experiments, and turn literal trash into powerful gear.

Every update is unpredictable with new procedural maps, quests, and physics items you can break.

🔫 SURVIVE

Venture into spooky forests, abandoned mines, low-gravity nuclear zones, lava caves to discover secret experiments from the mysterious Canopy Group.

Avoid landmines to survive.
And maybe don’t trust your friends when they’re holding a grenade.

🛝 BUILD ANYTHING

Trash matters. Everything you find can be used to craft weapons, mechs, vehicles, drones, toys. Our lobby is a social physics playground where you can goof with friends all day long, in virtual reality. 

😎 DRIP YOUR CHARACTER

Build your own animal avatar with unique body parts and drippy fashion. Be whatever you want, even a walking flashlight.

📸 MEME-ABLE CLIPS

Walkie-talkies and unpredictable events turn every adventure into a meme.

Scream, laugh, cry while you're getting chased by monsters or reviving a friend. You can host your own mini games & even direct a film series inside this game too.

👉 ACTIVE COMMUNITY

Join one of the largest and most active social VR communities of 400K+ members on Discord with weekly contests, a creator program, and developer AMAs. The developers also love spooking you in the game, so be ready for random guest appearances when you play.
