Gothic VR releases Unreal Engine update with VR support

The core of this update involves replacing the game engine with a newer version of Unreal Engine. This technical shift is what drives the performance improvements mentioned by the developer. Users who previously played the classic version will need to take specific steps to access this modernized build on the Steam platform.

The update file size is approximately 3 GB. To enable the new VR functionality, players must add the -vr launch parameter in their Steam library settings. The software is distributed through a dedicated Steam branch named "unrealbeta". Users must select this branch in the game properties to download the correct version.

Gothic VR plans to release a similar engine update for the Gothic II remaster in the coming days. This suggests the developer is applying the same technical improvements across their catalog of classic titles. The update for Gothic 1 Classic is the first step in this broader refresh effort for the series.
