The curtain is closing on the online multiplayer experience for Arizona Sunshine, a beloved classic in the modern VR world, as support is set to end this July. The decision comes as a result of Unity discontinuing its UNet Service. Since its debut in 2016, this game has been a go-to for VR enthusiasts looking for an engaging multiplayer experience. But now, Vertigo Games, the developer behind Arizona Sunshine, announced that multiplayer functionality will cease on July 1, 2025. This move is due to the end of support for UNet, the backbone of the game’s online multiplayer.
For those who might not be aware, UNet was Unity Engine’s go-to solution for multiplayer capabilities until the company decided to phase it out starting in 2019. According to the latest updates, UNet will be completely unavailable to developers after July 7, 2025, prompting Vertigo Games to plan ahead and make this change.
Fans of the original game can rest easy, though, as this change won’t impact the single-player campaign. Also, those diving into Arizona Sunshine Remake and its sequel, Arizona Sunshine 2, will still enjoy seamless online play. For those looking to upgrade, Vertigo offers a $10 discount on the Remake, provided you already own the original on Quest, PlayStation, or Steam on the same platform.
