Modders somehow cranked out a VR mod for Oblivion Remastered mere hours after its surprise launch

According to Road to VR’s report, the YouTube channel LunchAndVR demonstrated gameplay in virtual reality for Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered on its launch day, all thanks to the efforts of modders Keyser, Pande4360, and praydog.

The video on YouTube titled “LunchAndVR” presents a tutorial ruin level gameplay, where fights against rodents and the undead occur, and it’s visually impressive. There were no issues with the graphics, and both the combat and spell mechanics functioned flawlessly.

In less demanding indoor environments such as sewers, LunchAndVR finds the performance in Oblivion’s expansive outdoor world to be comparatively lower, but not so poor as to be a significant issue – it seems to run smoothly on my system, much like the finished Skyrim VR version.

To successfully run Oblivion Remastered, you’ll likely require a powerful gaming setup. The game is quite resource-intensive when it comes to hardware. Even on mostly medium settings at 1440p with an RTX 3070, the Steam Deck Verified tag seems hard to believe due to the game’s demanding nature.

In simpler terms, LunchAndVR is playing Oblivion Remastered VR on medium settings with DLSS Performance optimization, powered by an RTX 4090 graphics card, an i9 13900 processor, and 64GB of RAM. To fully immerse themselves in the game, they’re utilizing a cutting-edge Quest 3 virtual reality headset.

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, the VR mod for Oblivion just popped up out of nowhere! It’s all thanks to developer Virtuous, who cleverly wrapped Unreal Engine 5 around the original game’s skeleton made by Gamebryo. The UEVR plugin from developer praydog is like a Swiss Army knife, making it super easy to transform any UE5 game into a virtual reality adventure. LunchAndVR then stepped in, optimizing the performance and controls with profiles specifically designed for Oblivion Remastered. Kudos to modders Keyser and Pande4360 for creating these tailor-made profiles!

As a gamer, I’ve been diving into this VR mod, but its performance needs and the fact that it only offers three degrees of freedom at the moment (instead of the full six) mean it’s still a work in progress. However, if you’re craving a more immersive journey through Cyrodil, LunchAndVR has an easy-to-follow guide to help you get started with UEVR.
