Fruit Ninja VR 2, the fun sequel to the original fruit-slashing game developed by Halfbrick Studios, has received a new patch that contained new features and performance improvements.
Update 1.9.2 now lets you take wacky pictures with other ninjas thanks to the new Sensei and Gutsu cutouts in the Social Hub.
Speaking of the Social Hub, Fruit Cannons in the area have also been repositioned, allowing you to practice your blade and archery skills side-by-side with others if you want to.
Regarding performance improvements, Fruit Ninja VR 2 will now compile shaders the first time it’s launched to give a smoother experience with fewer frame rate problems when playing. Although it now takes slightly longer to load when you fire the game up, this only happens during the initial boot-up.
