Resident Evil 2 Remake, as well as other games powered by the RE Engine, are fully playable in VR thanks to a new mod that is currently in early access.
The mod seems to work great already, as showcased in a new video shared by Gamertag VR on YouTube. There is obviously still some work to be done, but it's definitely impressive how this mod makes Resident Evil 2 Remake almost feel like a native VR game.
As already mentioned, this new mod is compatible with all RE Engine games. Brian Tate shared a video showcasing Resident Evil 3 remake running with this mod, which looks just as good with VR as Resident Evil 2 Remake.
Praydog also shared a video of his Monster Hunter Rise demo VR test, which you can check out below.
