Expedition 33′ in VR? Possibilities Explored

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is still delivering a lot of surprises, even after all this time. Ever imagined what it would be like to play the game in VR and see the city of Lumiere in full glory? You don’t have to imagine it, as it is actually possible.

The game’s beauty has the global gaming community in shock as it’s only made by a group of 33 people. The art style, gameplay, and story are other features that have captured many hearts. Furthermore, to say the game is a masterpiece would be an understatement. So, what is it like to play the game in VR?

Before talking about the fun stuff, let’s get down to the technicalities. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been completely built on Unreal Engine 5, which delivers graphics like no others. However, just graphics and no fun gameplay would make it just a simulation. This is where Sandfall Interactive put in their hard work.

Since Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is built on Unreal Engine 5, there is a massive advantage. Players can mod it easily, despite it being a proprietary engine. Because the tools used to make UE5 games are available to all, as it is a source-available engine. So modders can tinker with it, without editing the source code.

This allows the Unreal Engine VR Injector program to be run in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This basically lets developers view the game in VR mode, so that they can experience it in real-time. Of course, with some reverse engineering voodoo, normal folks like us can make it a VR game.

However, in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, it is limited. What is that supposed to mean? You can technically play the game in VR when exploring around the map, but when in combat mode, it goes into third person. So you’ll be more of a spectator during combat than being the main character.

But still, that’s a win, as being able to explore the wonderful world of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in VR seems phenomenal. Seeing the Flying Waters, Esquie’s Nest, Stone Wave Cliffs, and more in real-time is a dream come true for many. If developers wish to create a VR experience within the game, that could happen. Kinda wish it was true.

Can you play other Unreal Engine games in VR?

It is possible with the same tool mentioned before, Unreal Engine VR Injector by praydog. If you’re thinking of running Oblivion Remaster in VR, that is possible too. Checkmate Bethesda!

There are other ways in which Unreal Engine 5 can be abused, like using developer commands to add cheats. Not recommended, but again, a fun way to interact with the game you’re playing. The highlight remains to be VR, as it is one of the most fun ways to take advantage of Unreal Engine 5.

The tool is fairly easy to use; simply download the tool from the GitHub page and launch it. After that, launch the target game and pick a runtime renderer. Adjust the settings you’d like to change, and voila, you have a VR game which wasn’t a VR game at first. The steps are over-simplified, but geeks at GitHub are there to assist better.

What game would you like to play in VR mode? Would you be trying Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 VR? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, we’d love to know what you think.
