Owners of<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2215390\/Five_Nights_at_Freddys_Secret_of_the_Mimic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> the game on PC<\/a> can jump in right now, although there are some minor caveats. Steel Wool Studios says the VR mode\u00a0doesn\u2019t support room-scale gameplay, which essentially means you\u2019ll need to stay your player boundary and use in-game locomotion controls to navigate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>While it does include the full swath of VR settings, the studio warns you may need to adjust performance outside of the game for best results, such as adjusting refresh rate (hz)\u00a0in SteamVR\u2019s settings for PC VR players, or via the Meta Horizon Link desktop app\u2019s Graphics Preferences\u00a0for\u00a0Quest Link\/Air Link users.<\/p>\n<p>For PC VR users who can\u2019t reach 120\/144 Hz, the studio also suggests\u00a0turning SteamVR\u2019s motion smoothing\u00a0setting off, noting that sometimes deleting the entire configs folder (i.e., C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Local\\FNAF_SOTM\\Saved\\Config) can help.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of this writing, the studio notes there are <a href=\"https:\/\/steelwoolstudios.com\/sotm_pcvr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">a number of know behaviors to watch out for<\/a>\u00a0when it comes to playing the PC game in VR mode, however the game is fully playable in VR, including full motion controls.<\/p>\n<p>For a more comprehensive look at what to expect, check out \u2018PSVR2 Without Parole\u2019s\u00a0full review of the PSVR 2 mode below:<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steel Wool Studios has finally released SteamVR support for Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s: Secrets of the Mimic (2025),&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603198,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[86,56,54,55,4297,4298,4299],"class_list":["post-603197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-virtual-reality","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-virtual-reality","tag-virtualreality","tag-vr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603197\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
