February, despite being the shortest month, is one of the most important times of the year. Without February, we wouldn’t have time to celebrate the really crucial stuff, like Groundhog Day or Frozen Yogurt Day. There’s a lot to love this month, and that’s why we decided to make February “Toots of Love” in the Trombiverse. Toots of Love has many exciting features, including weekly unlocks for our favorite people in the world—Trombone Champ: Unflattened fans.

The unlocks will drop on average, twice a week from February 5th until March 1st.
So, you’ve conquered the campaign, played through the community’s best hits with custom songs, and now you’re faced with the empty void of existence. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! We have some amazing tracks lined up for you to play and challenge yourself with. We’ll be hosting high score challenges in our Discord so join in.

There will be five new songs for you to master. Think you can handle them?

Even though we’ve added a ton of trombones and unique sounds to toot with, the community demands more. “I NEED MORE TROMBONES IN MY LIFE!” We heard you. We’re adding some lovely Trombones throughout Toots of Love. And hey, if you can complete all the new songs, then you’ll unlock a secret, mystical trombone. So make sure your collection is complete, and get tootin’!

Love is in the air, and so is a brand-new outdoor environment! We’ve refreshed the scene to create the perfect atmosphere–whether you’re here to vibe, perform, or just soak it in.
But that’s not all! The audience is feeling the energy too, so they’ve dressed up to match the mood. Expect fresh threads, a new ambiance, and a setting that truly sets the stage for an unforgettable experience.

Whether you’re enjoying Valentine’s Day or Singles Awareness Day, hop in and let the good vibes roll!

Happy New Year! We’re kicking things off with a brand-new, FREE content update for Trombone Champ: Unflattened. There’s so many juicy things we’ve packed into this update and can’t wait for you all to try them.


We’ve introduced a custom song-scanning feature that automatically detects any custom tracks you’ve downloaded on Quest. No more fussing around in folders—just open the game, press a button and you’ll see your custom songs ready to play!

Plus, we’ve added a handy “Custom Songs” album to the campaign menu so you can jump right to those.


Step out into a gorgeous, snowy landscape—all without freezing your lips! This fresh, frosty environment is available now, and is the base to a whole series of outdoor environments we’ll be expanding to.


You asked for it, and we delivered: brand-new trombones have arrived, including a much-requested community favorite. We won’t spoil all the fun—but it has something to do with beans! A new mythical creature has also appeared along with a new fish trombone!

We’ve added a Pitch Assist option to the Settings menu, so even if you suck, your trombone playing won’t make you deaf. This feature is completely optional and won’t affect your high scores, so feel free to turn it on (or off) whenever you like. Perfect for streaming your best performances to the world.


We realized “Simplified mode” might have sounded too… simple and some players were ignoring it. So we renamed it to “Unflattened mode.” These maps were hand-mapped to really take advantage of Unfalttened’s VR mechanics to the fullest and some are some of the most fun ways to play the songs. Even if you’re a pro player, definitely give the “Unflattened mode” a chance!

Hey everyone! We’re super excited to finally announce that Trombone Champ: Unflattened is launching on November 26! This is a big deal for us at Flat2VR Studios, and we can’t wait to bring this reimagined version of the viral hit to Steam VR.

How It All Started

When the original Trombone Champ dropped, it was impossible to ignore how perfectly chaotic and fun it was. Our first thought was, This game belongs in VR. That’s how this whole journey started—our lead dev, Rai, whipped up a quick mod to test the waters, and it turned out to be incredible. The VR potential was obvious, and that’s when we knew we had to take it further.

Bringing the Game to Life in VR

From the start, we wanted Trombone Champ: Unflattened to feel like it was built for VR from the ground up. One of the first big changes was moving beyond the static flat-screen gameplay. Instead of staring straight ahead at a virtual screen, you’re now performing in a somewhat chaotic concert hall, surrounded by an audience that reacts to your every note. When you nail it, they cheer. When you don’t... well, let’s just say they don’t hold back.

We’ve also added a second note lane to make tracks feel more dynamic while keeping the experience accessible to everyone. And of course, we brought over the awesome custom track support, so you can load up and play your favorite songs made by the community. It’s been incredible to see what players have created, and we’re thrilled to see how much farther this can go in VR.

The launch on November 26 is just the beginning. We already have free updates and DLC in the pipeline, starting with a holiday update that’s coming sooner than you might think. Without giving too much away, let’s just say you might want to brush up on your seasonal tunes.

And beyond that? More trombones, more tracks, and even more ways to make the game your own. Check out our website, where we’ll be posting a detailed post launch roadmap soon!

Thank You!

To everyone who’s been along for the ride, thank you. Whether you’re a die-hard Trombone Champ fan or you’re picking up a virtual trombone for the first time, you’re the reason we do this. We’re beyond excited to share this next chapter with you—and to give you a glimpse of what else we’re cooking up at Flat2VR!
So go ahead, wishlist Trombone Champ: Unflattened now, mark November 26 on your calendar, and get ready to blow us all away (literally)!
