for Prey (2017) · by phunkaeg · released 29 Sept 2026

Setup walkthroughs
Community research
A downloadable OpenXR preview has confirmed stereo, head tracking, IK hands, stick locomotion and controller menus in a real headset, but the current test session crashed and the project is explicitly research/WIP; experimental.
Evidence checked: Current creator README, player guide and latest native-wrist-test release checked; README distinguishes confirmed headset features from the crash/unverified current candidate.
Known limitations
- Creator calls it an active research build, not a finished mod.
- The current candidate 09 stereo/curved-popup headset session crashed; stability and newer weapon-wheel bindings remain unverified live.
- Headset comfort/readability acceptance remains open; build/install is advanced and build-specific.
