The most powerful 3D virtual tabletop on the market is about to take a leap forward.

Had this from when it first launched. In it's current incarnation it mirrors TTS with a little more finality and overall gloss, with a little less clunk as far as virtual reality implementation goes. It's still there though, if you were adverse to TTS, it's likely just as bad if you see it that way.

Surprised the game has been picked up in all honesty, it's never really gained any traction aside from when the hoo-ha kicked up with TTS a few years ago. The market is there though, particularly for something more advanced and streamlined than TTS. As for the Virtual Reality MR-XR space, when hand tracking reaches a pinnacle, i think then it really succeeds.

Tabletop Simulator 2.0​

Summary of Tabletop Simulator 2.0​

  • Improved gameplay experience: Rebuilding the interface and user experience to make TTS more approachable for new and experienced players alike.
  • Practical creator tools: New and improved tools for creators so they can spend more time creating and less time fighting interfaces.
  • Better performance & improved visuals: Modernizing the rendering pipeline and performance foundations.
  • Multiplayer reliability: Networking improvements with a focus on stability and security hardening.
  • VR rework: A modern VR foundation with improved interactions and VR-friendly UI.
  • Steam ecosystem: Better compatibility and usability on Steam platforms such as the Steam Deck and upcoming Steam hardware.

The Tabletop Simulator 2.0 Roadmap​

Our plan is to release the changes in the roadmap as individual major updates in the following order so that you can experience the changes earlier and give us the time we need to go through all of your feedback and suggestions.

  1. Stable & Secure Online Play

    Networking modernization focused on reliability and security improvements.
    • Upgrading to the new Steam P2P networking which encrypts traffic and helps protect player privacy (including hiding IP addresses).
    • Overhauling the networking system to offer better protection against exploits from malicious users.
  2. Performance & Hardening Improvements

    A build/runtime upgrade moving the build over to IL2CPP for better performance characteristics and security hardening by raising the bar against common tampering/exploits.
  3. New Interface & Experience Overhaul (Play Mode / Edit Mode)

    Full UI/UX overhaul from the ground up on a modern framework (UI Toolkit).

    The re-design will focus on creating two distinct modes that you can switch between:
    • Play Mode: Clean and intuitive UI designed to streamline gameplay and make the playing experience less cluttered and confusing.
    • Edit Mode: Advanced tools and options for creators and power users who want expansive control over their creative process.
    • We also want to support full UI theming and skinning (a “CSS-like” styling system) so creators can build more customized interfaces for their games.
  4. Modern Control Scheme & Controller Support Improvements

    More consistent controls across mouse/keyboard and controller use with the Steam Deck in mind.
    • Upgrading to Unity's new input system for better device support and a more modern action-based design.
  5. Visuals & Performance Improvements

    Major rendering modernization by upgrading to the Universal Rendering Pipeline (URP) while preserving legacy Workshop content.
    • Reduced CPU usage for rendering with URP's batcher (should improve frame rates and performance in many cases).
  6. VR Rework — Modern VR Foundation & Better VR UI

    Full VR rework introducing OpenXR with a focus on fluid VR interactions and VR-friendly interfaces.
  7. Steam Deck / Steam Frame / Steam Machine Polish Pass

    Focused improvements to make Tabletop Simulator run better on Steam platforms and future hardware.
  8. Creator Marketplace

    A curated marketplace for user content that aims to expand the library of available Tabletop Simulator content without interfering with existing free Steam Workshop submissions. Read more about the Creator Marketplace below.

What is the Creator Marketplace?​

Our goal is to expand the options and support for creators who publish content for Tabletop Simulator — giving smaller creators a real chance to monetize their work while also increasing the amount of polished, ready-to-play content available.

The Creator Marketplace will be a curated marketplace for content such as:

  • Official DLC-style content
  • TTRPG assets & figurines
  • Original models & assets (tables, tokens, miniatures, props, environments)
  • Polished high-quality experiences designed to work “out of the box”
We are designing the Creator Marketplace to be creator-first with a top-tier revenue share structure compared to other in-game UGC (user generated content) marketplaces so that more of each purchase goes to the people making the content. We are happy to share more details about this when we get closer to release.

Marketplace submissions will be checked and curated by our team to ensure that they are of high quality and do not infringe on intellectual property rights.

The Creator Marketplace does not replace the Workshop or introduce a paywall on existing community content. It is an optional library in addition to the Workshop that will let you support creators who produce high-quality content. Like with current DLC content only the host will need to have purchased a marketplace item for it to be available to all connected players.


What won’t change​

  • You will not need to purchase a new copy of Tabletop Simulator — all of these updates will be applied to you for free.
  • The Steam Workshop remains fully supported. We are committed to keeping existing content fully playable during this modernization.
  • The core values of Tabletop Simulator remain the same — making it the best platform for finding and playing your favorite tabletop games.
 
its more an update / re-write to the existing system and its going to be "free" so we'll get it so long as we've purchase TTS

sadly my money is on them making it worst...
but for those that are interested in TTRPG there looks to be some options for it.
