Rec Room Plus (R+) Benefits
Rec Room Plus (R+) is an optional subscription service that significantly enhances your Rec Room experience, offering a wealth of benefits designed to accelerate your progress, expand your creative toolkit, and provide exclusive rewards. Understanding how to leverage these benefits is key to maximizing your time in Rec Room.
Weekly Ink & Token Payouts
One of the most immediate and impactful benefits of R+ is the weekly currency payout. Every week, R+ subscribers receive:
- 1,500 Tokens: These are the premium currency in Rec Room, used for purchasing exclusive avatar items, inventions, and consumables. To claim your weekly Tokens, simply log into Rec Room at any point during the week. A notification will appear, and the Tokens will be automatically added to your balance. Strategically save these Tokens for high-value items in the Rec Room Store or for supporting your favorite creators by purchasing their inventions.
- Ink Bonus: While not a fixed amount like Tokens, R+ members receive a significant boost to Ink earned from various activities, including playing games, completing challenges, and participating in events. Ink is crucial for creators, as it's used to place objects and build rooms. To maximize your Ink earnings, focus on playing popular RROs (Rec Room Originals) like Rec Royale, Paintball, or Laser Tag, which often have higher Ink rewards.
Exclusive R+ Items & Discounts
R+ members gain access to a curated selection of exclusive items and enjoy substantial discounts on many in-game purchases. This is where your weekly Token payout truly shines!
- R+ Exclusive Store Tab: Navigate to the Rec Room Store via your watch menu. You'll find a dedicated "R+ Exclusive" tab. Here, you can browse and purchase unique avatar items, costumes, and room decorations that are unavailable to non-R+ players. These items often rotate, so check back frequently for new additions.
- Token Discounts: Many items across the entire Rec Room Store, including popular outfits, hairstyles, and invention licenses, will display a reduced Token price for R+ subscribers. Always check the R+ price before making a purchase. For example, a rare hat might cost 5,000 Tokens normally, but only 3,500 Tokens for R+ members, saving you 1,500 Tokens immediately.
- Consumable Bundles: Look out for R+ exclusive bundles on consumables like potion packs or building material kits. These often provide a better value than purchasing individual items.
Increased Invention Save Slots
For the aspiring creators and seasoned builders, the expanded invention save slots are a game-changer. Non-R+ players are limited in the number of inventions they can save and publish, but R+ significantly increases this capacity.
- Accessing Invention Slots: From your watch menu, go to "This Room" -> "Inventions" -> "My Inventions." Here, you'll see your current save slots. As an R+ member, your available slots will be substantially higher, allowing you to save more complex creations, experiment with different designs, and publish a wider variety of inventions to the community.
- Strategy for Creators: Use these extra slots to save different versions of your rooms, individual components for larger projects, or even small, reusable props. This prevents the need to constantly delete older work to make space for new ideas, fostering a more fluid and productive creative workflow.
Early Access & Beta Programs
R+ members often get a sneak peek at upcoming features, rooms, and even entire RROs before the general public. This provides a unique opportunity to experience new content and provide valuable feedback.
- How to Participate: Keep an eye on official Rec Room announcements, the Rec Room Discord server, and your in-game watch notifications. When early access or beta programs are available, specific instructions on how to join will be provided. This might involve visiting a specific "Beta Hub" room or opting into a program through your watch settings.
- Providing Feedback: If you participate in early access, remember that your feedback is crucial. Use the designated feedback channels (often a specific Discord channel or in-game survey) to report bugs, suggest improvements, and share your overall experience.
R+ Badge & Recognition
As an R+ member, you'll receive a distinctive badge displayed on your profile and next to your name in-game. This serves as a visual indicator of your support for Rec Room and often grants you a bit of extra recognition within the community.
- Profile Visibility: Your R+ badge is automatically applied to your Rec Room profile. Other You can see it when they view your profile, fostering a sense of community and shared support for the game.
- Community Interaction: While not a direct gameplay advantage, the R+ badge can sometimes lead to more positive interactions, as it signifies a dedicated player.
By actively utilizing these Rec Room Plus benefits, you'll find your Rec Room journey to be more rewarding, creative, and engaging. log in weekly to claim your Tokens, explore the exclusive store, and take advantage of the expanded creative tools!
