Four-person Steam game On-Together tops charts with cozy virtual coworking

On-Together: Virtual Coworking, made by a four-person team called GigaPuff, has surged onto Steam’s Popular New Releases since its January 19 release — and it doesn’t require VR, costing $9.99 on the platform. The game adopts an anime‑like, Animal Crossing–meets‑Studio Ghibli aesthetic where players make cute avatars and meet in third spaces such as libraries, parks, forests and lily pads, with options to hang out with strangers or friends.

On-Together bundles built‑in productivity tools like timers, to‑do lists and desktop recreations for pulling up files, but also emphasizes leisure: extensive customization (idle animations, pets), mini‑games (races, fishing, basketball, music), and a ticket system that rewards focus with new clothes and accessories.

Since launch the game hit a peak of roughly 2,000 concurrent users, and GigaPuff says the release plus its demo have served about 60,000 people. The title has an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, with players crediting the community for helping them through school and work.

By comparison, a 2023 investigation found Meta’s similar effort drew about 900 users in a week; Polygon notes Meta has been spending roughly a billion dollars a month on its virtual‑world efforts and plans to shutter those services in February. Developer Ilgın S.
