The free “R.E.A.L” PC mod adds full VR compatibility to Rockstar’s beloved franchise.
Despite having originally released all the way back in 2013, Rockstar’s fifth entry in their beloved Grand Theft Auto video game series is more popular than ever. Regular DLC updates have kept GTA Online feeling fresh; meanwhile, veteran players continue to spend absurd amounts of real-world money on in-game currency.
Since its release on PC, player-created mods have also done their fair share in breathing new life into the 7-year-old title, offering users a wide variety of bizarre, sometimes game-breaking alterations and additions. In 2019, modders began experimenting with VR functionality, and while several mods have been successful in bringing the GTA experience to headsets, many of these solutions can be complicated to install and feature several noticeable limitations.
The fourth and latest version of the GTA 5 VR mod “R.E.A.L”, on the other hand, offers the ideal GTA immersive experience, including VR cutscenes, a simplified setup process, and a variety of other graphical improvements.
Available free via Github, R.E.A.L’s biggest advantage over alternative VR mods is the universal FOV fix. In addition to solving a handful of hiccups involving scripted animations such as aiming your weapon and entering/exiting vehicles, this fix adds VR compatibility to GTA 5’s cutscenes. Other improvements include graphics options that can be changed in-headset, smooth camera rotation while on foot in 1st person, improved parachute control, improved camera management while in 3rd Person. This latest version also adds support for several popular graphics mods including NaturalVision Remastered, VisualV, GTA 5 Redux, and M.V.G.A.
As previously stated, R.E.A.L also introduces a simplified setup process, allowing you to install VR compatibility in a matter of minutes via a simple batch file. There’s even a handful of graphics presets that allow you to adjust visual quality depending on your hardware.
“The mod natively supports Oculus and SteamVR headsets,” states the mods creator, LukeRoss00 on the official Github page. “HMD detection is automatic: if you have an Oculus headset connected (with the OVR service running) when you start the game, the mod will use native Oculus rendering; otherwise it will launch in SteamVR mode. WMR and Pimax headsets are still not properly supported; I contacted both Microsoft and Pimax about the issues, so fingers crossed, but don’t hold your breath.”
