What you need to know
While the Viking-themed survival gameValheimis only playable from a fixed third-person perspective in the vanilla game, a new mod has been released by modder Brandon Mousseau that allows players to enjoy the game in VR. At the moment the mod doesn’t support motion controls, but one of Mousseau’s colleagues has confirmed that motion control functionality will be coming in a future update. You can view gameplay of the mod below.
