Minecraft VR (Vivecraft Immersion MC)
Modded VR port | Released
A new add-on mod for Vivecraft (an unofficial VR port of Minecraft Java) came out a few weeks ago and adds a lot to immersion while playing Minecraft fully in VR. The mod makes it so you seldom have to open a menu to do most things. It also gives you a Half-Life Alyx-like gravity gloves ability to pick things up, lets you craft in-world (not in a menu), you can directly pick up stuff, and more!
Raft VR
Modded VR port | Released
DrBibop (the creator of the incredible Risk of Rain 2 VR mod) released a VR port for the deep, overwhelmingly positive rated co-op survival game that just exited early access.
The mod features full motion controls and a lot of love has gone into the mod to make Raft a great experience in VR. As with DrBibop’s Risk of Rain 2 VR mod (and many of our other multiplayer Flat2VR mods), the Raft VR mod allows you to play with non-VR players too (a fantastic feature to always have people to play with as VR is still growing and not all your friends may have VR yet).
Deep Rock Galactic VR
Modded VR port | Released
After the Deep Rock Galactic developers gave their full blessing to create a VR mod and even did some things to help us, the Deep Rock Galactic VR mod has been shaping up wonderfully!
This last month, the mod was updated with physical ax swinging when mining, feet tracking and more! An update is expected to release any day now that will also allow VR players to be able to join any lobby with non-VR players and play together.
Major Deep Rock Galactic VR Update!
Perhaps what was missing the most from the fantastic VR port of Deep Rock Galactic VR was being able to manually swing your axe to mine. The days of lazy button pressing to swing are over. Welcome immersive mining & more!

Resident Evil 2, 3 & 7 VR
Modded VR port | Released
Capcom updated Resident Evil 2, 3, & 7 with Ray Tracing support (which initially broke all existing mods since they all moved to the RE 8: Village engine). Thankfully, it didn’t take long before master modder Praydog updated them all to support VR again.
Another notable companion mod to RE 7 VR came out this month which adds 4k textures. Since this is the oldest game in the series, the new textures make a huge difference bringing it close to the graphics of RE 8 Village when in VR.
GTFO VR Mod
Modded VR port | Released
If you haven’t tried Spartan’s incredible GTFO VR mod in a while, it continues to get better and better!
First, the game officially left early access with a ton of new features. Then the mod itself keeps getting new features. This past month, Spartan added two-handed support, iron sights, bHaptics, and more!
Assetto Corsa VR Mod
Add-on for official VR port | Released
Perhaps not the most ‘useful’ mod for winning a race, but still quite cool! This mod adds full motion-controlled hands to racing sim Assetto Corsa and lets you wave to other cars (or give them a certain finger), adjust your mirrors, control your GPS, change gears, etc.
Assetto Corsa already has basic VR support, but this mod gives just a little more immersion when stepping into the seat of your favorite car. AC has a huge modding community with thousands of additional cars and tracks that all work in VR. You can race through wooded country-sides, through large cities, or on just about any race track that’s ever existed in the world.
Slime Ranchers VR
Modded VR port | Coming Soon
The addicting zany alien farming sim Slime Ranchers is getting a VR mod thanks to modder Tran Fox! The Slime Ranchers devs created an official VR experience a few years back, but was very short and ended just when things got started (very much a cruel teaser). This VR mod is for the full game and you will be able to do everything in VR that you can do on flatscreen!
Forgive me, the Slime Ranchers VR mod previewed is by Tran Fox (KomiksPL has also been working on his own VR mod).

Left 4 Dead 2 VR mod
Modded VR port | Released
The last VR mod to be mentioned this month is the Left 4 Dead 2 VR mod with full motion control support. It’s not surprising that the Valve game that inspired many after it like After The Fall, etc. is a great and addicting formula for a VR game.
The VR mod is still in beta, but is coming along quite nicely! It’s quite playable, supports 6DOF, basic motion controls and multiplayer support on non-VAC (Valve’s anti-cheat) servers. Physical swinging with melee weapons is in testing and will release very soon.
