Supernatural Is Back: Should You Rejoin? (A Returning Player’s Guide)

Some news hits different when you’re a gamer. A sequel announcement. A server coming back online. For me, this week it was this: Supernatural is back.

If you were one of the players who had a long streak going and a favorite coach in your ear, you already know why this matters. The Supernatural VR relaunch is happening under a new independent company, Supernatural Health, and according to UploadVR Early Access is coming “soon” and will be open to everyone. So the question in my inbox and on Reddit is simple: should you rejoin?

Here’s my returning-player’s guide: what’s confirmed, what carries over (and what doesn’t yet), what it costs, and how I’d fit it into a real routine.

What’s Actually Happening

Per the official Supernatural FAQ, the relaunch is planned for fall 2026, available in the US and Canada at launch. UploadVR reports the new company is running lean with a 15-person team, and that the roadmap includes planned multiplayer and a mobile app. Those are plans, not launch-day features, so I’m treating them like a dev roadmap: exciting, but I’ll believe it when I can play it.

A couple of practical notes from the FAQ that returning players should know:

• Quest 2 owners: Supernatural says Quest 2 will be supported as long as Meta supports it.
• Old annual plans: If your annual plan runs past December 3, 2026, Meta will issue a prorated refund around that date.
• Scholarships: Supernatural is offering up to 100 free year-long scholarships.

Will My Streak Carry Over? (Read This Before You Get Hyped)

This is the big one, so let me be straight with you. UploadVR reports that points, streaks, favorites and badges carry over. But the official FAQ is more specific: your points come over when you import your account, and streaks and favorites are set to follow “later this year.”

So: streaks are coming, but don’t count on seeing your streak on day one. If you log in during Early Access and your streak counter looks empty, that’s not a bug in your save file. It’s the rollout schedule. Give it time.

And honestly? Even if your old streak never came back, it wouldn’t change the math. As I explain in Chapter 4 of my book, “Consistency beats perfection every time!” A streak is a scoreboard. The habit you built to earn it is the real loot, and that’s still in your character sheet.

What Does It Cost?

Pricing per the FAQ and UploadVR:

• $20/month, or
• $200/year, or
• $180 for the first year as a Founding Member (UploadVR adds that members get a custom bat).

If you already know you’ll stick with it, the Founding Member rate is the obvious value pick. If you’re not sure, month-to-month lets you test the waters before you lock in.

Should You Rejoin? My Gamer-Dad Take

In Chapter 2 of Get Fit with Virtual Reality, I break down how to pick fitness apps, and in Chapter 7 I cover Supernatural alongside heavy hitters like Les Mills Bodycombat, Beat Saber and Synth Riders. My rule hasn’t changed: “Your perfect game’s the one that makes you forget you’re working out.”

So here’s how I’d decide:

• Rejoin if Supernatural’s coaching and scenery were what actually got you moving. If you’ve been drifting since it went away, that’s your answer.
• Wait and see if your current rotation is working. You can watch how Early Access goes and jump in once streaks and favorites land.
• Skip it if you’re happy with one-time-purchase games and don’t want another subscription. That’s a totally valid build.

How I’d Fit It Into My Rotation

My current loadout is Synth Riders to warm up, Les Mills Bodycombat for the main boss fight, then Creed or Box to the Beat on PSVR2. If I add Supernatural back, it slots in as a rotation day, not a replacement. Chapter 4 of my book recommends 2-3 sessions a week of 15-20 minutes and rotating games to keep things fresh, and that’s exactly what I’d do. (My top 5 VR fitness games are still my core.)

A sample week for a returning player:

• Day 1: Supernatural session (ease back in, don’t chase your old scores).
• Day 2: Synth Riders + Bodycombat.
• Day 3: Supernatural or a boxing game, whichever you’re more hyped for.

My Story / Why It’s a Problem / The Fix

My story: Every time I come back to a game after a break, I want to jump straight to my old difficulty. Why it’s a problem: your body didn’t save its progress the way the servers did, and that’s how you end up sore and unmotivated by day three. The fix: treat your first week back like a tutorial level. Shorter sessions, lower intensity, and log them so you can watch the numbers climb again. “Every goal you hit is a high score—celebrate it!”

The Bottom Line

Supernatural coming back is great news for VR fitness. Just go in with clear eyes: Early Access is “soon,” points import first, and streaks are coming later this year, not guaranteed on day one. If it’s the game that got you moving before, it’s worth a look. If not, your current rotation is still doing the job.
