VR compatibility in War Thunder is available for both air and ground battles, providing pilots and tankers with greater immersion than a traditional monitor. At present, the only format to support War Thunder playable in the Oculus Rift is Windows PC, however support for the PlayStation VR HMD is also in development for the PlayStation 4 edition of the videogame. Since release War Thunder has been made available for a number of different platforms, including Windows PC, OS X, PlayStation 4 and Linux. War Thunder originally launched back in 2012, having begun development three years prior under the name World of Planes. So VRFocus now brings you the definitive step-by-step guide on how to enable the virtual reality (VR) gameplay in War Thunder for the Oculus Rift. However, without a version of the videogame downloadable from Oculus VR’s own Oculus Home application, the process is a little more complicated than simply downloading and putting on your head-mounted display (HMD).
Gaijin Entertainment has announced that the free-to-play War Thunder now supports the consumer release of the Oculus Rift.
