Google announced that it's acquiring Owlchemy Labs, the VR-focused studio behind the Job Simulator and Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality games.

Following the acquisition, Owlchemy will keep releasing VR games for multiple platforms, but with backing from Google. Owlchemy said in a blog post that it's "continuing to focus on hand interactions and high quality user experiences, like with Job Simulator."

T"ogether, we'll be working to create engaging, immersive games and developing new interaction models across many different platforms to continue bringing the best VR experiences to life," says Google VR and AR engineering director Relja Markovic. "Daydream's a great product - I love my Daydream. But there will be many, many things that come after that. I don't think we're done exploring how you interact with controls in your hand."

It seems that Google could release something beyond the current version of Daydream.

Owlchemy was one of the first studios to work with the initial Oculus Rift development kit in 2013, and Job Simulator was a launch title for the PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, and Oculus Touch motion controllers. The game is one of the industry's major success stories, as it passed $3 million in sales at the start of 2017.
