Modartt has released Vibes, a new add-on for the Pianoteq virtual piano instrument for Windows and Mac.
Using a newly extended model, PIANOTEQ can now reproduce the beautiful sound of the vibraphone. Two virtual vibraphones, V-M and V-B, reproduce faithfully the characteristic sound of two well-known vibraphone brands. Thanks to the physical model the range of the vibraphones is extended from 3 to 5 octaves. Each instrument is provided with several variants and by using interface features, such as mallet hardness and tremolo, you can customize them to your own taste.
The Vibes add-on is available for purchase for 49 EUR.

xoxos has released Phybes, a physically modeled vibraphone VST instrument for Windows PC.
Phybes is a banded waveguide suited for vibraphone and other mallet instrument emulations. The mallet impulse is modeled with a mass-spring to produce tonal variation from dynamic performance.
Phybes is available for purchase for $15 USD.
A license includes a 6 voice and 13 voice version (for glissandos). A demo version is available for download here (limited to two voices of polyphony).
