Luckily the game also recently added official modding support as long as VR input, rendering, and interfaces can be made to work correctly, it should be relatively easy to experiment with VR-focused content and balance changes and then distribute them to players via the existing modding system. Effects include SSAO, depth of field, antialiasing, anisotropic filtering and much more. Anyone who knows Deep Rock Galactic knows that it’s a game with lots of erratic player movement and comfort will be a huge challenge-not to mention figuring out how to balance the game’s vast number of quickly moving enemies to not be completely overwhelming in VR. This mod from Boris Vorontsov adds various effects that the game previously didn't have, or overrides effects it does have.

Getting the game to play well in VR will need to go well beyond simply rigging up the game to take input from motion controllers. In fact, modders have now already triggered the plugins to verify that the game can be rendered correctly in VR. Recently, we asked the Mechwarrior 5 developers (PG) the same thing, they added it and now have a full VR mod for it! It takes two minutes to do and has no negative consequences for the shipping version of the game. As the post explained:įor an UE4 game, the one essential ‘piece of VR modding’ that we need first from the developers (that currently can’t be ‘modded in’) is just to include the VR plugins in the project when building. This small addition to the update appears to be thanks in part to Reddit user Elliotttate, a member of the Flatscreen to VR Mod Community, who got the attention of the studio through a post in the Deep Rock Galactic subreddit which asked the developers to enable VR plugins so that VR modders could try adapting the game. While this doesn’t mean that the game can be played in VR just yet, it does mean that modders can tap into those VR plugins to begin experimenting with adaptations that could make the game fully playable in VR. Return to the classic survival horror title, Resident Evil 4, rebuilt entirely for VR. Speaking of modding, we have enabled the SteamVR and OculusVR plugins to allow modders to play with them. Hidden deep in the update’s huge list of patch notes was this valuable gem:

A major update to the game, released this week, took the first step toward making that wish a reality by opening the door for VR modders to experiment with the game.ĭeveloper Ghost Ship Games this week launched a major update to Deep Rock Galactic which adds new weapons to the game for the first time, alongside new missions, enemies, cosmetics, and more. The excellently atmospheric game has been subject to requests for VR support ever since launching in Early Access back in 2018. Deep Rock Galactic is a cult-favorite PC co-op game where teams of up to four players dive into perilous caverns in search of precious minerals while battling hordes of alien bugs along the way.
