Unreal Engine 5

Note: you are currently viewing documentation for a beta or an older version of Varjo

Varjo support for Unreal Engine is built on top of Unreal Engine’s built-in OpenXR support. This allows developers to create VR applications using the normal binary version of Unreal Engine without any Varjo-specific code. This works with all current generation Varjo headsets.

Some Varjo features are not supported by Unreal’s built-in OpenXR plugins. Support for these is provided in a separate Varjo OpenXR plugin, which complements the built-in Unreal plugins and enables additional features. Varjo OpenXR plugin for Unreal Engine 5 is available at developer.varjo.com and Unreal Marketplace.


See the Unreal OpenXR features for more information.
