Description

Become the supreme chef in VR! - The kitchen gets a next-gen upgrade!

Step into a realistic VR kitchen filled with every tool, appliance, and any ingredient you could imagine. From griddles and gas burners to knives, blenders, and blowtorches — it’s all here, waiting for you to experiment.

Every ingredient responds to your actions: slice potatoes, flip steaks, or simmer soups with authentic physics and haptic feedback. Feel the resistance of the knife as you cut, and watch food change in temperature, texture, and appearance in real time.

Build your career from rookie to world-class chef in Career Mode, or let your imagination run wild in Sandbox Mode where the only limit is your creativity (or your tolerance for kitchen fires).

Key Features:

  • Next-Gen VR Immersion – Rebuilt in Unreal 5.5 with 4K visuals, enhanced physics, and dynamic day/night lighting.

  • Precision Cooking – More accurate VR hand tracking, refined cutting, stirring, and flipping mechanics.

  • 100+ Recipes & Ingredients – From steaks and salmon to spices and sauces, experiment with endless combinations.

  • Lifelike Tools & Utensils – Griddles, cookers, ovens, knives, pans, spatulas, blenders, and more.

  • Realistic Physics & Haptics – Every slice, stir, and pour feels authentic through VR feedback.

  • Career Mode – Climb from novice to star chef, mastering recipes and building your restaurant’s reputation.

  • Sandbox Mode – Unlimited freedom to cook, experiment, or unleash chaos with slow-motion physics.

  • Comedy & Chaos – Fires, spills, explosions, and over-the-top kitchen disasters make failure just as fun as success.

Your kitchen’s got all the gear a chef you need.

Your virtual kitchen comes fully equipped with everything a chef could ask for. From griddles, cookers, and ovens to pots, pans, knives, spatulas, and blenders — every tool is interactive and ready to use with your VR hands. Stock your pantry with over 140 ingredients, including meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, dairy, spices, and herbs. Whether you’re preparing gourmet dishes or experimenting with flavour, you’ll have all the essentials at your fingertips.

Real life experience!

Every ingredient reacts to your actions in real time — changing temperature, texture, and appearance as you cook. Slice potatoes, flip steaks, or simmer soup with physics-driven realism. Thanks to haptic feedback, you’ll even feel the resistance of each cut through your VR controllers.

Career Mode – From Novice to Master Chef

Start as a rookie in a small kitchen and gradually rise to fame. Unlock new recipes, serve more demanding customers, and expand your culinary repertoire. The more you master, the more perks and skills you’ll unlock, helping you work faster, more creatively, and more efficiently.

Sandbox Mode – There’s No Wrong Way To Play.

Prefer freedom without rules? Sandbox Mode unlocks everything from the start. Experiment with over 100 recipes and 140+ lifelike ingredients. Prepare gourmet meals, or turn the kitchen into a physics playground:

  • Chop vegetables mid-air in slow motion.

  • Line up cutting boards like dominoes.

  • Set the kitchen ablaze and save it with a fire extinguisher.

  • Test the limits of VR physics with explosive results.

Why This Edition Stands Out

Cooking Simulator VR: Enhanced Edition is not only an upgrade. It’s a recreating of what made the original so popular:

  • Sharper mechanics for precision cooking.

  • Deeper immersion through tactile haptics and refined controls.

  • More freedom to experiment, learn, and play your way.

  • A living kitchen that feels dynamic and reactive.

The kitchen is open.

Will you cook with mastery, or embrace the madness?

Great game. The knobs are funky and I keep getting softlocked in the kitchen when I press 'skip cleaning' at the end of the day. But other than that it's a chill game to zone out and listen music to while playing.
