Virtual Reality (VR) has had a huge impact on the way we perceive video games as it adds another layer of immersion and makes you feel like you are a part of the game world. Over the years, we have received countless VR titles that have provided us with enticing experiences that many will vividly remember. However, we have also seen numerous critically acclaimed games that cater to the traditional way of gaming.
What if I told you there is a way to experience these non-VR titles with fully accessible VR environments? Thanks to the dedicated efforts of various modders, we can now access some of the best non-VR games on virtual reality headsets such as Quest 2, Steam VR, and more. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the best VR mods for both new and classic titles.
Top 5 VR Mods for Non VR Games
1. Team Beef VR for Doom

2. Subnautica: Below Zero Native VR
Although the official Subnautica game received official VR support, this second entry does not seem to provide any such features. The native VR mod addresses this issue by allowing players to experience the underwater world of Sunautica: Below Zero through their headsets. Although the current version of this mod already surpasses the VR features in the first game, the devs are also working on providing more improvements.
