MGS2 PCVR — Public Beta

Welcome to the first public beta of MGS2 PCVR, an unofficial PC VR mod for METAL GEAR SOLID 2: Sons of Liberty — Master Collection Version.

Tested on Meta Quest 3 with Touch Plus controllers. Requires the Steam game, a Windows gaming PC and a working OpenXR PC VR connection.

What to expect

• Headset tracking and motion-controller controls, using AER (Alternate Eye Rendering).
• Switch between VR and Third Person with A; hold Y to recenter.
• Wrist radar and LIFE display, with controller menus for weapons and items.
• A Tanker-focused beta. Plant / Raiden support is still in development.

Download and install

Download MGS2-PCVR-v0.3.1-beta.3-479DF688.zip under Assets below. Close the game, back up any existing mod files, and extract the ZIP beside METAL GEAR SOLID2.exe. Launch through Steam with your headset connected.

GitHub's automatic Source code downloads are for contributors and are not the playable mod package.

Read the setup guide and controls before playing.

Before you play

• One-hour VR session limit: save and restart before the hour is up, or close the game and increase seconds=3600 in dg_hook.on before playing. The game itself stays open when the mod's session ends.
• Security cameras: switch to Third Person to get past camera sections.
• Hanging and moving while hanging: experimental; use Third Person.
• Grenades: not supported in VR yet.
• Plant / Raiden: not ready for a complete VR playthrough. Weapon and interaction support is still being developed.
• AER: eyes update on alternating frames, which can cause ghosting or judder. At 60 game frames per second, each eye receives roughly 30 fresh images per second.
