Vive support is currently "beta" right now, but I don't know exactly what that means or what might change in the next few updates.

Since this is a $40 investment, I thought I'd report my experience.

Many games are only partially supported or don't work at all. The degree of VR support you get depends on the game some have stereo 3D and head tracking while others might only have 2D. For those who don't know, it hooks into the rendering process in non-VR 3D games to add partial VR support to those games (the primary target is first-person shooters). I was particularly amused by all the times I’d get distracted driving, only to turn my head back to the road seconds before a massive collision.VorpX just released their first version with Vive support today so I decided to try it out. Los Santos is one of gaming’s best-realized locations and it translates to VR really well. In the moments where the mod works it sings sitting in the driver seat of a car or methodically picking off targets with head-tracking is great in VR. I couldn’t take any video footage because the frames shift the position of characters and items, making it blurry. After a fairly simple installation process, you can jump into GTA V in VR using a standard gamepad. Modder LukeRoss, who last year released a VR mod of No One Lives Forever 2, is behind this one. It’s not the first, but it is one of the easier ones to install. Launched over the weekend, though, a new mod takes another shot at letting you play the game without that software. There is one existing mod that lets you play the Rockstar classic with a headset, but you’ll need the Vorpx VR driver.


Grand Theft Auto V VR is probably one of the most requested VR ports we’ve seen over the last few years.
