On July 21, the Poland-based developer of SUPERHOT VR issued an update to the game, which removed scenes alluding self-harm or sucide. Backlash from players ensued. However, the developer said it would not reverse the changes.

Callum Underwood, Director of Special Projects at SUPERHOT Team, announced that SUPERHOT VR generated over $2 million over the past week alone. This takes into account all platforms where the game is available.
