Subnautica 2 VR Mod Adds 6DOF Motion Controls Less Than 1 Month After Launch

1 articles · Updated · roadtovr.com · Jun 19

Summary

  • 6DOF motion controller support now lets Subnautica 2 VR players swim, dive, scan and build with hand-based controls instead of relying only on basic VR viewing.
  • Joey Hodge improved stereo rendering, while jbusfield’s new mod adds a visible body, optional forearms, two-bone IK arms, animated hands and a head-linked UI option.
  • Performance remains a major limitation: even on an RTX 4090, i9-13900K and 64GB RAM setup, users are advised to keep settings at low-to-medium and disable effects like V-sync, motion blur and frame generation.
  • The mod arrives after PC VR users got Subnautica 2 running within 24 hours of its May early-access launch, but rapid game updates could still break the setup.
