Praydog’s Unreal Engine VR Mod available now in BETA

Developer Praydog has worked tirelessly to convert Capcom games to VR (some with full motion controls too) with his REFramework mod, and has been beavering away at an Unreal Engine VR mod for quite some time. What is interesting about this is the fact there are 1000s of Unreal Engine games to choose from which opens up the VR library considerably (best results with UE 4/5 games). Unlike people such as LukeRoss who unashamedly charge a premium for his AER Real VR mod where you have to keep paying more if any of the games become broken due to game updates, Praydog offers his efforts FREE-OF-CHARGE, which is why gamers should toss a donation his way via the Patreon page if they are able to. You can download the mod from Release UEVR Beta 1.01 · praydog/UEVR · GitHub .

You can find out more via these two websites which offer some great information.

The mod is in Beta which means it’s not perfect for all games where some will work better than others. But, give it time for some tweaking and we’re confident the mod will improve significantly.

Here is a list of over 10,000 Unreal Games to try out in VR.
