From the creators of the award-winning comedy games WHAT THE GOLF? and WHAT THE CAR? comes a wacky game about having baseball bats for hands. It's a sweet, silly, and absurd coming-of-age story that can be enjoyed by both newcomers and experienced VR fans.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

WHAT THE BAT? is a part of Laughs & Smiles Game Festival, a digital showcase celebrating games that will make you laugh and/or smile!
IT'S REAL! IT'S OUT! ITS TIME TO WRECK HAVOC AS A SILLY CAR! This is what the excited people are saying about the car game already: A racing game with a ‘complete disregard for actual vehicles’ - The Guardian WHAT THE CAR? is quite possibly one of my favorite games I have played this year. Every single level was a blast to play, and with the smaller minigame breaks and the fantastic aesthetic, I can't get enough of it. - SteamDeckHQ These moments of pure silliness are brilliantly woven into the gameplay, keeping things fresh and constantly surprising you. - Savingcontent We're also delighted t
The unhinged slapstick comedy VR game WHAT THE BAT? is not only the winner of UploadVR's GOTY 2022 award but also getting its first major update today with fresh movie-inspired levels! For FREE! The update comes as a very strange love letter to Hollywood, set in the wonderful capital of baseball movie-making: BATTYWOOD! Tackle 18 new levels containing 100+ new physical puzzles that let you play baseball in Western movies, jump the shark, meet the stunt sheep, disarm bombs, solve crimes, throw a ring into a volcano, cook ratatouille, and find love. We are so happy to share this with you - thank

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32091497/d73749873aa9febd41cc0804735eafa05cb08da2.gif If you loved WHAT THE BAT? you can help us by wishlisting WHAT THE CAR? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2727650/WHAT_THE_CAR/ After succeeding at ruining baseball we've decided to continue the streak with ... cars? We know nothing about cars, in fact, no one on the team owns a car. First up, we added legs to the car. Much better. That's how WHAT THE CAR? was born 🐣 Race through hundreds of unique levels: jump, fly with jetpacks, climb tall buildings, deliver packages, and so pretty much everything you can’t do in a no
We have filled this update with fixes, balancing, and new features! Oh, you want to hear more? Here are a couple of highlights: - The music in the chapter “Baby Steps” has been recorded by our good friends at FAME’s Skopje Studio Orchestra - and it sounds great! - Do you know the feeling of wishing you could just forget something to experience it again from a fresh start? While we can’t delete your memories we can at least give you the option to delete your save game. - Try pressing the triggers on your controllers while looking in the mirror - we might have added something important. - We hav
Happy New Year from everybody here at Triband! We have added smoothing to the camera being shown on your monitor. This doesn't change anything in the headset, but people watching you play will hopefully appreciate less dizzying movement. This update brings several bug fixes. Here are some notable mentions: Fixed issue where some players got stuck after completing a level. Fixed issue where text in the game did not load correctly if the system language was not one of the supported languages. To those afflicted, undskyld, anteeksi, Því miður, padon, etc. We have noticed that some levels are a bi
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42505385/0cb20e1b8a72ee8b7a8c919397b8a50bdd6d24ae.png This update brings a small gift from us to you. Find the gift behind you in the level selection. We hope you enjoy!
We are so happy to see all of you playing WHAT THE BAT?! We have compiled a bunch of fixes and changes to balancing in this patch.

Keep on batting!
This update should fix the blocker in the Harvest level that some players have experienced.
