Excellent VR Tree Versus Squirrel Party Game Sees First Update In Over 5 Years

Acron: Attack of the Squirrels from Resolution Games is one of VR's best party games and it's just been updated with a new map and better networking.

One of VR’s best party games for all ages was just updated after a gap of more than five years.

Acron: Attack of the Squirrels sees a player embodied as a tree in headset protecting their acorns from up to eight squirrels logging in with flatscreens to steal away their precious nuts.

The title from Resolution Games debuted in 2019 on Steam and Quest (it is available on Pico headsets too) featuring an assortment of squirrel types to pick from with abilities like tunneling or building to face off against the tree across a handful of maps accessible by private room codes. The new “Cherry Glade” level rolled out today alongside “major network fixes”, according to developer Resolution Games, meant to address “high ping issues for some players.” The new level promises to switch up gameplay a bit as well with more sideways movement.

The VR game can be purchased on Meta Quest (2, 3, 3S, Pro), SteamVR (HTC Vive, Valve Index, Rift), and PICO headsets and works in conjunction with a free companion app on iOS and Android.
