Someone is already playing Oblivion Remastered in virtual reality

It has been less than 24 hours since the release of Oblivion Remastered, and someone has already managed to get a playable version of the game inside a virtual reality headset.

The YouTube channel LunchAndVR has released what appears to be the very first look at Oblivion Remastered in VR with motion controls. The mod used to achieve this is called UEVR, which is a tool that converts Unreal Engine games to VR experiences, and since Oblivion Remastered uses Unreal Engine 5, the tool seems to have worked just great. The description of the YouTube video reveals that these are just very early tests of the build, and it isn't without any problems, as some motion controls are still causing the game to crash.

As for performance, LunchAndVR reports that the game runs very well indoors but experiences performance dips when outside. The above video was captured with the following game settings and hardware: Medium graphics, DLSS set to Performance, a Quest 3 VR headset with Virtual Desktop VDXR, Ultra, 72Hz, and a PC with a GeForce RTX 4090, Intel Core i9 13900 with 64GB of RAM. Notably, the gameplay was captured on the GamePass version of the game, with LunchAndVR also saying it works on the Steam version too.
