But before talking on that lets know some basic details on Need for Speed

Now Lets Know How To Play Need For Speed in VR?

To play Need for Speed we need some things which I mentioned below

• Mid-high-end gaming PC
• VR headset
• USB-A cable
• Respective NFS game on PC
• SteamVR
• VorpX (optional)
• Controller (recommended)
• VR motion controllers (optional)

How to Play Need for Speed In Vorpx?

Vorpx is a 3D driver application for DirectX9-12 and older OpenGL games. The software is used for playing normal flatscreen games with PCVR devices like HTC Vive and Quest headsets. It is no substitute for native VR game support but just a custom software that translates the game into VR.

However, the software also supports motion controllers and true Stereo 3D. Fortunately, VorpX can run many Need for Speed games in VR. The following games are officially supported by VorpX and can be played in Stereo 3D right out of the box.

• Need for Speed Most Wanted [2005]
• Need for Speed Shift 2
• Need for Speed: Rivals

Even if the game is not officially supported, VorpX can run it in VR. So users can technically play Need for Speed Unbound in VR via VorpX. Unfortunately, the application is not free-to-use and can cost up to $40. If you don’t want to pay for VorpX, there is another method to play Need for Speed games in VR.
Play Need Need for Speed games in VR (camera mods)

There is also an alternate method of using camera mods to play Need for Speed in VR. All the latest NFS games have a camera mod that can be used as a pseudo-VR mod, as showcased in the video below. Users can run the game in SteamVR and then use the mod to change the camera position to first-person and increase the FoV. The only problem with this mod is that there is no way to remove the black edges from the game.
