Insurgency Sandstorm VR?

Will there ever be a VR version of this game? I love playing it on my PC, but playing it in VR would be... unbelievably satisfying..

We have no plans for an official VR mode, however, if someone wants to make a VR mod for Sandstorm that would be friggin cool!

I'm not sure, I think they should focus on the optimization problem first.

Unplayable game and poor optimization? Sounds like your PC is just sh*t mate. Runs fine on my computer. This game isn't a minecraft, update your potato if you wanna enjoy it.

It's UE4 so VR support is little more than a checkbox in build options.

Maybe in the future? There are already a good amount of VR shooters right?

If this gets VR support, then it would be more like Quake2 VR, not like other VR shooters. This means seated-only, with keyboard and mouse controls. So it's basically the same game except you're using an HMD instead of a monitor.

It would be possible to implement proper VR support (but you can forego realistic reloading and all that jazz, it's a gimmick with VR shooters but clearly it doesn't works well at all without the physical tactile feedback), but that would rather be a standalone game with separate playerbase, for the same reason console version is like that. Most of the changes would be in implementing inverse kinematics for hands and grabbing the guns from holsters, etc. No doubt there would be no shortage of VR players and development of VR version should be very cheap because only a few player interaction mechanics need implementing, most of the code and assets can be just copied over.
