How to play Subnautica on Steam with the Oculus Rift
Subnautica supports Oculus SDK 1.3. You can play Subnautica on the Oculus Rift via Steam. If you already own Subnautica on Steam, it is not necessary to buy Subnautica on Oculus Home to play with the Rift. To enable your Oculus Rift to be used with your Steam copy of Subnautica, follow these steps:

  • 1. Select the "Gear" icon in the top right of Oculus Home
  • 2. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu
  • 3. Select the "General" tab
  • 4. Flick the "Unknown Sources" toggle to On.
  • 5. Launch Subnautica from Steam with your Oculus Rift connected



Subnautica should automatically detect your Oculus Rift and enter VR mode. If you have a Rift and would like to play in non-VR mode, set the command line in Steam to "-vrmode none".

If you encounter any trouble, or have feedback on Subnautica in VR, please visit the dedicated Subnautica Oculus Rift forums.

That's the guide is it? Not a word on how to fix the misfiring controllers? Or how to pick things on a menu? Great guide. Really sorted it out - NOT.
