Pomshine Games, alongside publisher DANGEN Entertainment, has announced that Umami Grove will launch on PlayStation VR2 on January 27, 2026. The charming, physics-driven VR cooking adventure brings its open world of food, exploration, and playful interaction to Sony’s latest virtual reality platform.
First released in 2025 on Steam, Meta, PICO, and SideQuest, Umami Grove now expands its cozy culinary journey to a wider audience. On PSVR2, players can expect smooth locomotion and intuitive controls designed to make movement, climbing, and interaction feel natural. Using their own hands, players will chop ingredients, climb towering trees, and solve lighthearted challenges. All while exploring a whimsical world shaped by the changing seasons.
Umami Grove blends platforming, physics-based gameplay, and cooking into a relaxed yet engaging VR adventure. Each area is filled with color and personality, brought to life by a cast of quirky characters. They will also offer tasks and guidance along the way. Completing these requests encourages exploration and experimentation, rewarding players with new ingredients and progress through the world.
Set within a lush open environment, the game focuses on freedom and comfort. This allows players to jump, swing, duck, and climb at their own pace. Foraging for ingredients becomes part of the journey, with visually rich locations that reflect seasonal themes and moods.
As players improve their cooking skills and overcome small dangers along the way, they work toward earning the ultimate reward, gold shaped like acorns. Umami Grove on PSVR2 aims to deliver a relaxing, immersive experience that celebrates creativity, curiosity, and the simple joy of cooking in VR.
