You Can Play Oblivion Remastered On VR Right Now

Following several months of speculation, it turns out that Bethesda and Virtuos have covertly released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Remarkably, even though it’s brand new, players can already experience it in VR due to the dedicated efforts of enthusiastic fans.

Initially, it was assumed that virtual reality (VR) mods for such games would emerge eventually. However, some innovative mod creators have managed to make it possible for players to explore the world of Oblivion using a VR headset early on.

Oblivion on VR

Tyrielwood recently showcased a sneak peek of the VR version of “Oblivion Remastered”, and it appears to be running quite smoothly. Here’s a glimpse for you:

It’s true that there aren’t any mods available for download as of now, but many skilled gamers are eagerly exploring the game’s inner workings in anticipation of where they can implement enhancements. Let me share an innovative approach from LunchAndVR for VR users:

Although the exact release date for the official publication of the mod is uncertain, enthusiasts have a fairly good idea of what the mod might resemble if they could test it on the VR version of Oblivion Remastered. However, given that some of these mods demand high-end hardware configurations, there might be a need for further adjustments to ensure smooth gameplay on a VR headset.

How to Try Out Oblivion on VR

As reported by RoadtoVR, the modification isn’t completely finished yet, but you can get a sneak peek by downloading Praydog’s UEVER mod along with some test profiles that are being circulated right now. One of these profiles is a 3DOF profile from Pande4360, which has been fine-tuned for VR performance; the other is a 6DOF profile from Keyser.

Of course, it’s important to mention that having the authentic version of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is essential for you to gain access to the mod.

Skyrim and Mods

It’s intriguing to observe that, much like Skyrim in its heyday, Oblivion is now seeing an influx of modifications. We can only imagine the amusing (or impressive) creations modders might introduce to Oblivion. After all, this is a significant part of what makes Bethesda games appealing, even though they occasionally have rough edges.
