Mods. Gotta love em’. Reactivating disabled functionality since… er, the 80s? With the arrival of Nibre’s MotherVR, re-enabling virtual reality support in Alien: Isolation, we can very definitely say since 2017.
As VRFocus’ Nina Salomons explains, if you own a copy of Alien: Isolation and either the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift (CV1 and DK2), all you need to do is download and install the mod from GitHub.
VR controllers can’t be used right now, but the regular combination of mouse and keyboard, or an Xbox One gamepad works just fine. Oh, you’ll also need to be seated.
Salomons has a written guide available to get everything running, however, if you prefer a video tutorial, she’s prepared one of those also.
