Paint the Town Red VR launched as DLC on March 14, 2024, bringing the brawling sandbox into virtual reality with motion-controlled combat and VR-specific features. It added dual-wielding hand controls, a tutorial level, and a separate way to play the game, while the Map Making Contest #12: Noir Theme and Halloween Map-Making Contest #13 kept the Workshop community active.

• VR launch: Paint the Town Red VR introduced freer hand-controlled attacks, dual wielding, and a short tutorial level for new VR players. A later update also added a Disable option to Turn Mode for players dealing with stick drift.
• VR reliability: Follow-up updates addressed corrupted or erased Beneath saves, bad Steam Cloud uploads, crashes from corrupted save files, and lit-text rendering problems in Workshop levels.
• Community contests: Map Making Contest #12: Noir Theme showcased winners and new maps, while Halloween Map-Making Contest #13 opened submissions across Advanced, Intermediate, and Novice tiers. Previous winners moved into higher tiers to improve fairness, and the contest rules limited participants to one map.
