TAMPA, FL – August 12, 2025 - During today’s VR Games Showcase, Running With Scissors, Team Beef, and Impact Inked officially confirmed what long-time degenerates have been suspecting since the internet started acting weird: POSTAL 2 Redux wasn’t just some fever dream. It’s getting funded. The Kickstarter campaign is now live, and while Redux isn’t technically a VR game, it sure as hell wouldn’t exist without one.
Plucked from the womb of POSTAL 2 VR and sired by the same sick crew, POSTAL 2 Redux and POSTAL 2 VR are being developed in lockstep. Every stretch goal hit will power up both. And for those watching the showcase, a special bonus was revealed: a limited-edition Kickstarter tier offering POSTAL 2 VR at a reduced price, available only to the first 200 to claim it.
The Redux journey began in a piss-stained alley of modding forums and fan requests. After years of “when is it coming to VR?” and “bring it to PlayStation” and “make it for mobile while you're at it,” the developers gave up on trying to say no. So now, the answer is now an unapologetic “fine, dammit.”
“This all started because of POSTAL 2 VR,” said Grant Bagwell, Co-Founder of Team Beef. “We had no idea how many people would rally behind it. Eventually we thought: screw it, let’s remake the whole damn game.”
POSTAL 2 Redux: Kickstarter Launch Teaser - VR Games Showcase
This isn't a remaster. It’s not a port. It’s a full remake; new engine, new assets, today’s systems, and all the glorious, deeply unhinged mechanics that made POSTAL 2 an enduring cult classic. The Redux version expands on the original with physics-driven mayhem, new movement and traversal mechanics, smarter AI, updated visuals, and fully reworked combat and weapon systems. The devs are even giving the Dude a real inventory this time.
But don’t worry, the original charm isn’t going anywhere.
“We're building the Redux version to retain all the glorious, broken, chaotic soul of the original,” said Eric Masher, COO at Flat2VR Studios. “Nothing is getting cleaned up. It's just getting louder, grimier, and way more interactive.”
Every iconic moment is being recreated with new tech and terrible judgment, from mundane errands gone horribly wrong to full-blown rampages across Paradise. It's still POSTAL 2, just one where you can dual-wield cats, chainsaws, and sledgehammers, all while flipping off protesters and “innocent” bystanders.
The Kickstarter campaign is live now and explicitly includes support for the VR version. That means every stretch goal (new episodes, multiplayer modes, sandbox enhancements, secret weapons) applies to VR just as much as flatscreen. Early bird backers can also score both versions for less than the retail price. Oh, and yes: you can finally pet the dog.
So if you’ve been waiting twenty years to sign a petition with your middle finger, urinate freely in full roomscale, or pet the damn dog, urine luck. POSTAL 2 VR is your chance to finally do it. The Kickstarter is live now, and every backer helps make the VR version bigger, badder, and more insane.

About Running With Scissors
Founded in 1996 and still defiantly independent in Tucson, Arizona, Running With Scissors makes the games your mom warned you about. Best known for the long-running POSTAL series - an unapologetic blend of dark satire, slap-stick ultraviolence, and free-speech mischief - RWS has steered the franchise through bans, cult fandom, a Hollywood adaptation, and more than two decades of community-driven mayhem. With a mantra of “pure, politically incorrect entertainment,” the studio continues to self-publish on PC and consoles, stream weekly dev shows, and license fresh spins on its rowdy universe. POSTAL 2 Redux is the latest chapter in RWS’s mission to keep Paradise - and free expression - very much alive.

Team Beef is an independent studio known for bringing PC classics into fully motion-controlled, room-scale VR. Since 2019, co-founders Simon “Dr Beef” Brown, Grant “Baggy” Bagwell and Mark “Bummser” Diekneite have earned a cult following for turning older shooters into native VR experiences that hit blistering frame-rates on standalone headsets. Their motto is simple: if a classic can run, it can run in VR - natively, no excuses. Now partnered with Flat2VR Studios, Team Beef leads development on POSTAL 2 VR and POSTAL 2 Redux, upgrading Paradise one physics prop - and one bad decision - at a time.
