Palworld, a quirky fusion of creature-collecting and survival elements, both celebrated and critiqued for its unique blend akin to "Pokemon with guns," has made headlines not just for its rapid popularity surge, but also for the introduction of a VR mod mere days after its release. This mod, from developer praydog, leverages the universal capabilities of UEVR to bring players into a more immersive version of the game’s world. While currently the VR mod primarily offers a first-person perspective and requires some manual adjustments for an optimal experience, it's compatible with various controllers and is adaptable for seated play.

The game's overwhelming success is evidenced by over five million copies sold within just three days of its early access launch, additionally bolstered by its availability on Xbox Game Pass. Palworld's continual development promises more for players to explore, and with the new VR mod, the experience is set to be even more engaging, albeit a touch more harrowing as well.

How do you play Palworld with the new VR mod?

To play Palworld with the new VR mod, players need to install the UEVR mod created by praydog, which can be applied to any game built on the Unreal Engine. Once installed, you can use a traditional controller or map the controls to VR controllers and adjust the VR camera to the desired height for a comfortable playing experience.

Palworld is an early access title that has quickly drawn interest for its incorporation of combat and creature care in a rugged survival setting, reminiscent yet distinct from the beloved Pokemon franchise. With the introduction of VR, Palworld is positioned to offer players a novel and immersive experience that may redefine how we interact with the creature-collection genre.
