A new flatscreen to VR mod released earlier this week and I’m not exaggerating when I say that it is a game changer for PC VR. With just a couple of clicks of the mouse, you can now magically add VR support to potentially thousands of flat Unreal Engine games and it’s all thanks to God-like VR modder Praydog’s UEVR mod.
Praydog’s Unreal Engine VR Injector Mod (UEVR) has been in the works for at least a year now and, in the Flatscreen to VR Modding Community at least, the buzz for it has been palpable since it was first announced. But does it actually live up to the hype?
Well, that’s where this week’s episode of Ian’s VR Corner comes in! Check out the video below for an introduction to the mod which includes some short examples of how easy it is to convert flat UE4/5 games to full 6DoF VR and six examples of the mod in action across a variety of different game types. Including, most impressively, Housemarque’s incredible shooter Returnal running in first-person VR with added motion controls!

Installation and operation of Praydog’s mod is super simple, as proven my tech-illiterate self in this week’s VR Corner video. After downloading the mod all I then needed to do was turn on my Quest 3, load an Unreal Engine game, open the UEVR mod tool, select the game I was playing in its menus and then simply click the ‘inject’ button to instantly turn the game from a pancake playground into a fully fledged VR title.
