Resident Evil Requiem Acquires VR Mode via PC Mod

Within a month of Resident Evil Requiem's release on PC, modder Talemann1982 released the RE9VR mod on NexusMods, a fantastic addition that introduces unofficial VR support and motion controls for OpenVR and OpenXR headsets. Gamertag VR has posted a video on YouTube showcasing the impressive mod in action. To get started, players will need to download REFramework and VigEm, along with the VigEm Bus Driver for bindings. The RE9VR mod plunges players into first-person gameplay with full 6DoF motion controller support, letting them swing that axe and battle enemies like never before. To further enhance the immersion, the RE9VR Immersion Enhancer mod adds a weapon holster system, quick healing, a unique machete sharpening mechanic (sliding a finger on the screen), object-grabbing lantern use, melee attacks, grenade throwing with pin-pulling, and haptics support. You can even experience the bike section in Resident Evil Requiem in a whole new way, thanks to first-person perspective. The modder has noted a couple of limitations: the original 2D UI can present some challenges, and body rotation via the headset isn't fully implemented; button prompts only appear when the game camera is facing them.

Enhancing RE Requiem's Immersive VR Experience with RE9VR Mod and PC Immersion Boosters

While Capcom has a strong history of VR support in the Resident Evil series—with titles like Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil Village, and the Resident Evil 4 remake offering immersive VR experiences—Resident Evil Requiem surprisingly launched without it, despite strong sales of over six million units in its first week. Capcom announced an update for Resident Evil Requiem coming in May, featuring a minigame and photo mode, and a story expansion is also in development. However, for those eager to dive into a VR experience sooner, the RE9VR mod offers an exciting alternative, showcasing the creativity and passion of the modding community.
