We’re thrilled to announce a massive new FREE content update for BoxVR out today, adding 12 new workouts and over 140 minutes of brand new music.

Based on popular player requests, BoxVR will receive over 40 new music tracks spanning across a wealth of genres, including 80s Electro, Rock and Metal.

Opening up voting to our community, we asked you what new types of music you wanted to work up a sweat to, and after a tremendous response on social media, the top picks are now being added in this major update.

These tracks will be introduced with 12 new, adrenaline-pumping workouts utilizing the music to create electrifying routines to burn it up.

And the best bit? It’s all available to you for free - just make sure your headset is connected to the internet and your BoxVR game should update automatically.

Ianthe, our Head of Fitness, has also crafted a fitness challenge for January. Each day we’ll hero a class of the day, progressively getting harder and longer throughout the month. Keep an eye on our social channels to take part!

Featuring over 40 boxing workouts designed by fitness experts, BoxVR is the most fun way to destroy calories ever. Since launch, you have collectively burnt over 100 million calories worldwide!

Hey Champs,

Today we release a patch for the PC versions of BoxVR to fix some issues that were reported to us from the community and to make some small changes. Please read on to see a list of the changes in this release.

Changes

• Replaced the icon pack that was previously used with the intended selection of avatars.

Fixes

• Fixed the music processor - it should now process .m4a and .ogg files correctly as well as .mp3 files
  
• Fixed the folder/file view in ‘My Workouts’ reverting to the default view, it will now remember to return to the previously used folder to make things easier when adding multiple tracks.
  
• Fixed the ‘Weekly Calories’ counter on the Main Menu from resetting on a daily basis.
  
• Fixed the stats of the previous profile from remaining on the Main Menu after changing to a different profile.
  
• Fixed the multiplier in older environments so it now correctly informs you of which multiplier you have during a workout - previously it was stuck on 1x

Hey Champs,

It’s here! The end of Early Access as we bring you the long-awaited update to BoxVR for PC. In this update, we hope BoxVR feels like a new and fresh experience for you to achieve your fitness goals while also having a fun and immersive time doing so. Read on to find out more about what’s new in BoxVR.


Starting up BoxVR you will be presented with the new Locker Room, now with added music playing in the background (or is it a class that is already taking place?) helping you to get yourselves ready and in the mindset for some kcal burning. You’ll also notice a re-design of the Main Menu that will allow you to quickly get to any section you desire via the Menu buttons on the left-hand side.


With this update, we are happy to bring you 15 more workouts to BoxVR, totaling the number of workouts to 45 across various timeframes and intensities. You’ll also notice that there are no longer ‘Rest Periods’ during a workout, these have been replaced with what we refer to as ‘Active Rests’. During these Active Rests, you’ll notice the intensity of the workout reducing for an amount of time before returning to a more complex and intense workout. This will help keep your heart rate up and active while also providing a few moments to catch your breath.


After choosing your workout, you’ll notice three new environments to choose from:

• the Day Gym
  
• the Night Gym
  
• the Future level

Some people enjoy working up a sweat during the day while other nighthawks prefer the solitude of night, and then there are some who are looking towards the “future”. Whichever person you may be, now you have a new selection of Gyms to choose from as well as the previous themed areas we have provided in the past.


With a bunch of new workouts being added, it was necessary to fill those workouts with some new music tracks for you to bop and beat the cues to. With these new tracks in BoxVR, bringing the total number to 110, we’re sure you’ll find a new favorite. On top of that, all the tracks provided in BoxVR can be used in the ‘My Workouts’ mode (the new name for ‘Training’) where you can place them into playlists


Previously in BoxVR, there was only a selection of workouts to be used in Multiplayer lobbies. With this new update, you will have access to all available Workouts that we have created to be used in Multiplayer, so if you're looking for a quick session with friends or going for a full 60 minutes and challenging each other's top scores, you'll have a wealth of workouts to do so with now.

Hey Champs,

We have an important update for you all about BoxVR and its current Early Access form.

In summary, we will be leaving Early Access on May 21st and bringing you the fresh update you've been waiting for.

To read all the details, please follow this link here[fitxr.com]

Hello all,

As you may have seen, we released a version of BoxVR on the PS4 system yesterday (Apr 30th). At this point in time you might be thinking “Wait a minute, why don’t we have the update? We were here first.” which is completely understandable.

This version will be coming to the PC platform on both the Steam and Oculus stores shortly as we finalize some of the features which are slightly different to what is currently live on PlayStation.

Achievements

Within the PlayStation version of BoxVR you are able to unlock Trophies relating to your performance and progress, we want to bring these same achievements over to PC so players don’t feel left out and also have something other than just your fitness goals to aim for. It is possible that we may have to add these in a later update if it will take more time than we desire to get this new update live. We aim to keep you updated regarding this.

Survival

Right now, the ‘Survival’ mode is not available in the PlayStation version of BoxVR as we came to a decision that it can give the wrong message that we are trying to convey. We aren’t trying to overexert anyone and an ‘endless’ mode can lead to that. However, since Survival is currently available on Steam and Oculus, we feel it would be insincere of us to remove features that we have made available previously. There are a few more changes needed for it to correctly function in the new environments and HUD.

Profile system

In the PlayStation version, profiles are directly tied to the system profiles which is not the case on PC, where you can create multiple profiles. At this moment in time there a few bugs surrounding this part of BoxVR that we want to eliminate before release purely from a polish and feel perspective.

Once we have eliminated these issues and it has passed our quality assurance tests, both the Steam and Oculus store versions will be updated to the new version. It has been a while since we released an update to these platforms so we thank you tremendously for your patience while we worked on this update and look forward to hearing what you think of all the new features, workouts and tracks.

Hey Champs!

We've all been there, we make some New Year's resolutions, tell ourselves we are going to stick to them...and then we start making little compromises, reasons to not stick to these resolutions as intently as we planned.

Put down that candy bar and pick up that headset!

We've scheduled our Multiplayer slots for the month of January so you can join the FitXR team at set times and get those punches pumping with other new workout partners. You can see a full list of the proposed times and dates by following this link.[www.discalbot.com] You can even add these to your own Google calendar individually to keep yourself notified and on track of when they are happening around your schedule.

If you haven't joined one of our sets before, it's very simple. Just before the start time, we will be opening a lobby dedicated to a single workout, when the lobby is open and joinable you will see the Multiplayer button flashing on the Main Menu where you can then join. The Workout sets typically last around 30 minutes but not in one go, we break the workouts up to allow people time to grab a drink or a quick breather if needed.

If you're unable to join us at these times, why not try opening your own Multiplayer lobby when you are free? You never know, you might make a new workout friend...or rival.

Let's hit those goals together, and hope to see you in there!
