Is Assetto Corsa Competizione in VR?
Yes. Assetto corsa over the past some years has positioned itself for virtual reality and it has been improving every year.
Such excitement over every new software update related to VR, that discrete module, well puts me in the zone to do absolutely nothing.
Is Oculus Rift supported by Assetto Corsa?
Again, yes. Like other brands so is Oculus Rift fully supported since version 1.4.
That has got to be the best news ever especially if one has been able to witness the growth of Oculus and the whole world of VR in sim racing and esports as a whole.
Now that there is virtual reality in gaming, another dimension is going to be technologically unfolded.
Can I play Assetto Corsa with VR ps4?
Sorry about that, but in the case of the Assetto Corsa, it is a PC only game therefore there’s no way one could use the virtual reality ps4 headset while playing it.
The fact remains that as of now the console still lacks the quality graphics and processing power that the PC has.
Thus if given the option to play the video game Assetto Corsa with the virtual headset, then you better have a PC.
Assetto corsa VR requirements (Graphics card etc…)
In case you didn’t know by now, motherboard Assetto Corsa has a bit more higher requirements than the average racing simulator game. That’s right, it’s a racing game but, then again, not so much.
As it can be deduced from the specifications below, the graphical and operational requirements are somewhat at par with other cutting edge video games of the modern day.
GAMING REQUIREMENTS:
OS: This game requires a Windows 8.1 Operating System or a more recent one, such as Windows 10. One of the minimal necessities is RAM amount of eight gigabytes or greater. Furthermore, if you have an Intel Core i5 4690K @ 3.5 GHz or an AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz CPU, you are in luck.
Moreover, a Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 GPU or a greater graphically powered Pc is convenient, considering the fact that there are tons of details when watching the cars or the tracks.
Moreover, if you wish to use the head tracking option then this should be enough.
GPU: GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 or any superior
CPU: Full Intel Core i7 6700K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
RAM: equal to or greater than 16 GB
Operating system: Windows 10
While those systems are not strictly required in order to operate in VR mode Assetto Corsa, they will be a great enhancement regarding the visuals.
How do I play Assetto Corsa in VR 2022?
For playing Assetto Corsa in Virtual Reality, you need to have a ceiling-mounted powered orbit Head mounted display as headset. You will also need the official Oculus Home app to install and play Assetto Corsa in VR.
To be honest, it is quite easy to do so and tutorials can be found on youtube on the same.
If you are completely averse to doing any of these, then you can also go to the assetto corsa home page where there is a rather long covered provision on how to make all the adjustments.
What VR works with Assetto Corsa?
You may play Assetto Corsa using HTC Vive Pro 2 and Oculus Quest 2 headsets.
Of all the head mounted displays, the headset that has scored most acceptance and therefore the most popular is the Oculus Rift in this case.
How do I launch Assetto Corsa in VR with content manager?
assetto corsa vr content manager
You can do that by going to the AC content manager and do the following actions:
Using the Top right corner of the launcher->Settings->Asseto Corsa->Video change Rendering Mode from None to Oculus Rift
It’s about time.
Does Assetto Corsa support PSVR?
Unfortunately no, there is currently no support for PSVR for Assetto Corsa, however, this can change soon.
How demanding is Assetto Corsa VR?
Actually it’s about getting used to it.
The immersion is so high, and at times the combination of the 3D effects as well as the sound systems can be a bit overstimulating.
Can I play Assetto Corsa in VR without a wheel?
We are not saying that it is impossible. We just want to stress that the VR version of the game is not meant to be played without a steering panel or any controller attachments.
You can try it out if you really want to, but then we recommend you shifting to a cockpit view as it would enhance the entire racing experience drastically.
Is VR in sim racing worth it?
That’s one of those queries, the passions stem from, without attempting to provide an unsubstantial answer.
At the moment, yes. It’s safe to assume that there won’t be any VR integration in PC racing games for a while but then again, never say never.
Not every specific features which VR which some experts consider vital must be fulfilled, instead with a focus on just about any advent of racing, especially 1st person race simulation – yes VR is then certainly and obviously worthy.
Nevertheless, if it is so easy that all you want is to spin some driving wheels around the racing tracks say for recreation use, then probably at the moment VR is still not meant for you.
