Valve updates Destinations social VR with quests and trading

Valve Software just released a big update to its Destinations software that could make it a fun place to hang out with friends in virtual reality.

Destinations is evolving steadily and might be blossoming into a social VR platform that could rival those in the works from Facebook, High Fidelity, Linden Lab, Altspace, and others. First launched as a set of tools for creating locations others could visit in VR, Destinations got multiplayer in July amid a steady stream of updates. This latest improvement adds quests for hidden items, rewarding you and fellow travelers with items to customize the way you look. You can even trade with other visitors (no surprise, as trading is built into the Steam platform).
