SonsVR Mod
for Sons Of The Forest · by Antonio Mauriello (iPowerTech) · released 16 Jan 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 notes
This is an early alpha. Install MelonLoader, put the project DLL in the game's Mods folder, place the bundled OpenVR libraries in UserLibs, and launch through SteamVR.
The current build maps tracked-controller input and gestures onto the original keyboard and mouse actions. The creator lists flat or mispositioned UI, unaligned held tools, unfinished vehicle/cutscene cameras, and demanding default render resolution as known limitations. Full hand/arm IK is still planned rather than present.
