Now that F1 22<\/a> is available, players with virtual reality headsets will be keen to know if VR is supported by the new Formula One game. After all, fans have been asking for this feature for years.<\/p>\n Given that racing games often have brilliant graphics, and a cockpit viewpoint that puts you right in the driver\u2019s perspective, virtual reality works particularly well with games of this ilk.<\/p>\n Codemasters, the developers of F1 22, previously worked with external partners to bring Dirt Rally 2.0 into virtual reality, which does provide something of a clue as to how things will turn out this time.<\/p>\n So, if you\u2019re wondering whether F1 22 has VR capabilities (and if so, which headsets are able to run it), keep on reading and we\u2019ll run through all of the key details.<\/p>\n Yes, F1 22 does have a VR option on PC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The game\u2019s senior creative director, Lee Mather, said this to Traxion.gg<\/a> on the matter: \u201cWe know how loudly the fans have called for VR for a number of years. As you know about the scale of the game. But the opportunity came up in a similar vein to cross-play that we could partner with somebody externally.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cThat resource became available to us, they had time in their schedule to work with us. They\u2019ve worked with us previously on other Codemasters games doing VR. So it was the perfect opportunity to finally push it into a Formula 1 game.\u201d<\/p>\n In terms of PC VR headsets, we know that F1 22 will be compatible with the Valve Index<\/a>, the HTC Vive<\/a> and the Oculus Rift<\/a> \u2013 that\u2019s according to the game\u2019s official Steam<\/a> page, which seems like a pretty trustworthy source.<\/p>\n As you can see at the links in that previous paragraph, all of those are fairly expensive options. It\u2019s worth noting that the more affordable Meta Quest 2<\/a> also works with F1 22 (as long as you also have the Link Cable, sold separately, which makes Steam categorise it as a Rift headset).<\/p>\n The Meta Quest 2 headset costs \u00a3299 at Amazon right now<\/a>, but it\u2019s worth noting that you will need to buy its link cable separately<\/a> (RRP \u00a389) to make it work with F1 22. Embracing VR isn\u2019t particularly cheap, but it\u2019s definitely a great way to play racing games.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong><\/p>\n No, the VR portion of F1 22 will not be compatible with Sony\u2019s PSVR<\/strong> at launch. You can\u2019t get the game in VR on PS4 or PS5.<\/p>\n Given that a high-end PSVR 2<\/a> headset is in the works, Gaming Bolt<\/a> asked the developers of F1 22 if the game could come to a PlayStation VR platform at some point in the future.<\/p>\n Mather told them: \u201cUnfortunately there are no immediate plans [for F1 22 on PSVR], but we never say never.\u201d<\/p> If you\u2019re wondering how F1 22 looks in VR, check out the official clip below!<\/p>\nDoes F1 22 have VR on PC?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
