vorpX 18.3.0 Released

vorpX 18.3.0 has been released.

After four maintenance releases for the 18.2 branch it’s finally time for a slightly bigger release with a bit of feature refinement and also more and enhanced game profiles. Most notable additions are: Dark Souls Remastered, Monster Hunter World, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. Full List below.

Also various other profiles have been added and some existing ones have been enhanced by adding Geometry 3D and/or DirectVR.


If you don’t own vorpX yet, you can buy it here:

Supported headsets: Oculus Rift (DK2 still works), HTC Vive, other SteamVR compatible headsets (e.g. Windows Mixed Reality)

If you already own vorpX, it should auto-update when you start vorpX Control next time. If it doesn’t for some reason, simply use the web installer that you received when you purchased vorpX. It will download the latest version available.
