7 Days to Die VR may be coming

[CEO]

In their original Kickstarter the 7 Days to Die developer team (The Fun Pimps) had a VR stretch goal at 300.000;

'$300,000:
Additional player characters
Temperure based survival effects
Oculus rift support - (virtual reality headset) - more info at www.oculusvr.com'

They eventually raised 500.000 USD, well surpassing the VR stretch goal.

Since their Kickstarter they have been implementing a lot of the promised features. In this (admittedly slightly dated) overview, you can see the features that they have implemented and the ones that they are still working on: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?91359-Kickstarter-Goals-Abandoned-!

They haven't talked about VR since their Kickstarter though.

One of the forum moderators and community managers has said in July 2018: 'I believe [VR implementation is] planned for after the game releases.' https://steamcommunity.com/app/251570/discussions/0/1709564118767128169/

He stated somewhere else: 'I seem to recall madmole [one of the 7 Days to Die developers] stating [VR implementation] was something they would like to do. It most likely won't happen until after the game goes Gold though.' https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?83514-vr-support

Let's hope they won't ignore their promise of VR the way the Kingdom Come: Deliverance developers seem to have abandoned their initial plans to give their own game VR support.

The billion gamers argument deflates a bit due to things such as multiple accounts as well as types of gamers. A fraction of that 1b play nothing but certain genres like FIFA, or Visual Novels, or RPGs, or RTS, or generally don't take much interest in the scheme, or have health complications which make it impossible, or think it's all a gimmick like some people think above... There's many things which you have to consider on both VR and non-VR gamers. Hell, some of the titles being worked on for headsets would cater to some of those demographics, since there was that one dev making a virtual girl sim. Not to mention the lack of VR games thus far is a potential untapped goldmine of concepts, content, and coin that needs to be catered to in order to keep and expand the number of people curious or excited about it all. Still fair if people aren't into the premise. I don't regret my own purchase at all though.

Plus Oculus Quest 2 is out a year later here, and I grabbed one because that pricetag dropped from what someone said was $700 to just around $250. Best part is no wires for anything downloaded on the hardware itself, which also makes using SteamVR with it less optimal since you need a wire OR to be in direct line of sight with your router. The tech's getting there, and if the competitors get out cheaper headsets, then people that despise Facebook can get it as well.
And honestly, the Zuck could take his whole business and just put it up his own pooper for all I care. When a cheap and better alternative shows up, you can bet I'll be selling my Quest 2 for maybe 100-150 to put towards a cooler set.

There may still not be many VR gamers, but the floodgates are open now, and you're capable of buying in for a price cheaper than many consoles. Due to the PS5 shortage, it seems more and more lucrative, plus the games on VR will have more players and better sales compared to the PS5 crowd which is somehow still getting strangled by scalpers. Damn shame.

I was just researching games that I wish was in VR. So good to see this is planned... shame it's so far away though. The replay ability and scale of this game really makes it the perfect choice

Don't hold your breath on it ever coming. The devs have said that it might not be coming to VR after all.

in 5 years-- if the new world order doesn't smash individualism to a pulp, there will be an enormous number of vr games- and most likely very well made.

So if you made a kickstarter to do something and made the goal are you simply not obligated to go through with it and just give a middle finger to those that supported it?

They fully intend to, but that's a feature that won't be worked on until the game is closer to complete.

How much is left till completion? xD hasn't it been like 10 years?, although for VR capabilities they're probably better off creating a new "7DTD VR" for better physics, just imagine blade & sorcery physics with zombies, that'd be amazing
