Unreal game engine will support HTC’s virtual reality headset
The crew at Epic Games has made a point of welcoming virtual reality with open arms, and it’s not about to shy away any time soon. The studio recently updated its roadmap with indications that Unreal Engine 4 will support Steam VR (and by extension, the HTC Vive headset) no later than May. Also, Epic isn’t wasting much time getting up to speed with Sony’s newer Project Morpheus gear — there’s promises of silky-smooth 120Hz visuals, among other things. This wider support won’t matter until you can buy both the VR hardware and titles based on UE4, but it suggests that there won’t be a shortage of immersive gaming when everything lines up.
