Some of the best VR mods are even better with friends.
In 2026, community projects can bring VR to established multiplayer games such as Deep Rock Galactic, Valheim, Minecraft, and selected Far Cry titles.
The key warning is that multiplayer compatibility changes more often than single-player support. Always check the current mod status before joining public servers.
1. Deep Rock Galactic — Virtual Rock Galactic
Best for: co-op shooters with motion controls.
Virtual Rock Galactic adds:
- 6DOF VR.
- Motion-controller support.
- A dedicated DRG-specific VR layer.
Deep Rock Galactic already has excellent four-player co-op, and VR makes its mining tools and weapons more physical.
2. Valheim — VHVR
Best for: survival and building.
VHVR transforms Valheim into a VR experience and has long been one of the most recognizable dedicated flatscreen-to-VR projects.
Multiplayer can be particularly fun because VR players can inhabit the same survival world as friends.
Check current mod/server requirements before joining.
3. Minecraft Java — Vivecraft
Best for: sandbox multiplayer.
Vivecraft is one of the oldest and most mature PC VR conversions.
It supports tracked VR interaction and can be used in multiplayer, although server-side plugins can improve how flatscreen players see VR body/head/hand data.
4. Far Cry 5 / New Dawn / Far Cry 6 — R.E.A.L. VR
Best for: cinematic open-world co-op.
Luke Ross's January 2026 R.E.A.L. VR update specifically discussed fixes for Far Cry co-op behavior, including view-lock and map problems.
These are generally gamepad-oriented VR conversions rather than full tracked-hand mods.
Check the current R.E.A.L. VR listing before installing.
5. Ready or Not — UEVR community profiles
Best for: tactical co-op, with an important caution.
Ready or Not is a popular UEVR target, but any multiplayer game with anti-cheat or strict online rules needs extra care.
Never inject into anti-cheat-protected multiplayer unless the current mod/profile documentation explicitly says it is safe and supported.
Use private/offline testing first.
What makes a good co-op VR mod?
We prioritize:
- Stable multiplayer.
- Low desync.
- Motion controls when available.
- Clear server compatibility.
- Low anti-cheat risk.
- Full campaign/survival support.
- Active maintenance.
Can VR players play with flatscreen friends?
Sometimes.
There are three common models:
Same game, client-side VR
The VR player installs a local mod while flatscreen friends use the normal game.
Modded server/client setup
Everyone may need compatible mod components.
VR-only or restricted setup
Some mods alter enough gameplay behavior that mixed play is not practical.
Check this on the individual mod listing.
Anti-cheat warning
This matters more in multiplayer than anywhere else.
UEVR and other injectors hook into a running game process. Anti-cheat software may interpret that as unauthorized modification.
Never assume a mod is safe online simply because single-player works.
Best headset for co-op VR mods
Any PCVR-capable headset can work.
Wireless headsets are especially convenient for physical motion controls, but co-op also makes voice chat and network stability important.
If both your headset stream and the game multiplayer traffic share a congested wireless network, latency can increase.
Best co-op VR mod for motion controls
Virtual Rock Galactic, Vivecraft, and VHVR are good places to start if physical interaction is your priority.
Best co-op VR mod for seated play
Far Cry-style R.E.A.L. VR conversions can be easier for players who prefer a controller.
FAQ

There is no single winner, but Deep Rock Galactic VR, Vivecraft, and Valheim VR are strong examples.

Only when the specific game's current anti-cheat and multiplayer rules allow it. Never assume.
Can Quest 3 play these mods?
Yes as PCVR.
