RCT3 VR
for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 · by EnzoHaegel · released 19 Oct 2026
A mod added to the existing PC game to enable VR. A dedicated VR mod built for this one game. These are normally the best experiences, because controls, menus and comfort were designed for VR rather than injected.

Setup walkthroughs
Community research
The released build provides stereoscopic, head-tracked ride views with simple controller camera controls, but leaves the main management game flat on the monitor and has no tracked-hand gameplay.
Evidence checked: Creator README and v0.1.0 release checked; release notes confirm runtime options and A/B/right-stick bindings. No repo issues returned.
Known limitations
- VR only activates in ride/coaster cameras; the rest of the park-management game stays on the monitor.
- Controller buttons send game key presses, so the game window must have focus.
- No positional head tracking or roomscale interaction is documented.
