With the higher resolution of the Windows MR headsets, itвЂ™s entirely possible that you would need an even more powerful GPU to handle the workload.Д«ethesda didnвЂ™t say anything about bringing Doom VFR to the Microsoft Store with native Windows MR support, but official support through Steam is still a big deal. Doom VFR already demands a GTX 1070 or RX 480 as a baseline GPU, and Bethesda recommends a GTX 1080 or RX Vega 64.

In fact, Microsoft and Valve both suggest an Intel Core i7 processor and a GTX 1070 as the minimum hardware specifications for smooth gameplay in games that would typically demand a Core i5 and a GTX 970 for the Vive or Rift headsets. The Windows Mixed Reality for Steam VR Beta isnвЂ™t well optimized for low-end hardware.

ItвЂ™s nice to see a big title like Doom VFR receive support for MicrosoftвЂ™s VR platform, but we have to wonder what the performance impact would be.

Bethesda revealed that the new patch would include support for the Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR Beta, which would enable you to play Doom VFR on any of the Windows MR headsets from MicrosoftвЂ™s partners. You can join the discussion on Bethesda's lack of official Oculus Rift support in DOOM VFR on the OC3D Forums.In our opinion, the big news about todayвЂ™s Doom VFR patch is the addition of Windows Mixed Reality support. Bethesda has focused on SteamVR and HTC's Vive headset when creating DOOM VFR for PC, creating a difficult situation for those who use other VR headsets on the platform.

Our goal is always to provide players the most stable and optimized experience on every platform we support.Дeveloping games for VR is a difficult process, with every VR platform featuring unique control methods, software sets and other specifications. We understand Rift owners found this frustrating today, and we apologize for any confusion. That is why the game was not playable on Rift immediately we donвЂ™t want anyone to have a bad experience on something we havenвЂ™t tested yet.

While weвЂ™ve heard Steam has been updated to allow the game to be playable on Rift via a Beta, the development team has not yet had an opportunity to test, optimize, and refine the game for Oculus Rift. When and if we have more information about additional platforms, we will let everyone know.ДЄt launch, we are only supporting Vive and PSVR. However, as weвЂ™ve always said, our goal with all of our VR titles is to bring them to as many platforms as possible and we continue to evaluate expanding these options. Our development team has focused on making the game look and play great on those two platforms first. Today, DOOM VFR was officially released for HTC Vive and PSVR.

The game was never advertised as supporting either of these VR platforms, though Valve's SteamVR-to-Rift update has enabled Oculus' VR platform to play the game.

Since launch, Valve has released an update to SteamVR which enables Rift support in the game, which updates SteamVR API to support the Oculus Rift headset, allowing former HTC Vive exclusive games to support other VR headsets.Д«ethesda has released an official response to these issues, confirming that the game was developed for both PSVR and HTC Vive, with the development team creating no official support for both Oculus' Rift and Microsoft's Windows 10 Mixed Reality headsets. Some outlets have suggested that this lack of Rift support is due to the ongoingВ legal battle between Zenimax, Bethesda's parent company and Oculus, who currently owe Zenimax $500 million. When Bethesda released DOOM VFR on PC and PSVR, the game lacked support for Oculus' Rift VR headset, with users experiencingВ difficulties when playing the game on day-1.
