hi, I know that this was asked before like 4 or 5 years ago, but yeah worth another shot, why not add support for VR? now there are a lot of VR users and with the Quest 3 and all other headsets on their way it will be even bigger… I understand that there are issues with motion sickness but these can be overcome, there are Sea of Thieves clones in Meta App Lab which have different mechanisms to prevent motion sickness… I am sure a solution can be found
VR support
Yeah, no. As much as I would love it, there are SO many things that just wouldn't work. Crossplay, or not? How does sword work, eating animation, etc, etc
Plus, SoT is owned by Xbox, and as of now they really don't wanna do VR.
Would take months and months and lots of recources too.
I don't think it's possible as of now.
Happy Sailing!

Probably not worth the Development time just so 4 people can be sick and complain about it, to be honest.
Some real sailors might not get sea sick 😉
@foambreaker I'd imagine even some actual sailors would still get the ick from it. VR just messes with the brain/body motion connection. The brain sees one thing...body feels another....brain nopes outs 😂

If you drank more rum you would get used to that!
@foambreaker Not sure that encouraging the drinking of alcohol is the way to go....also...alcohol combined with VR sounds like extra 🤮

It all depends on the person, some people in vr can just get sick from putting the head set on and not even move around much in the game. But some people can zip around insanely fast in something and not even feel a thing. For me it takes some serious lag before i start to feel off.
But still this game wouldnt be very balanced for it anyways, and its just a lot of work for something few people would do.
I have vr and will have the quest 3 in about two weeks. I really do not think it would be popular and its the last game I would want to try in vr myself. People are sea sick in real life so i can’t imagine in vr with all the issues of buffering and teleporting or just because of the nature of the game where you bunny hop all over the place all the time. Some game are just not meant for vr.
