Can I test my developments on a HTC Vive (the first one to go on sale)?

Hi!

I have a HTC Vive, the first version. I bought it many years ago. Now, I’m developing a VR game with Unreal Engine 5.3, and I don’t know if I can use my device to test it.

I’m asking this because I’ve been reading the documentation for OpenXR and it says that my device is not supported. Well, I think it is not supported, but I’m not sure. There are many versions of the device and I don’t know, for example, if HTC Vive Pro is supported, then HTC Vive is also supported.

Can I use my device to test the games?

Thanks.

Yes, the HTC Vive is fully supported though the SteamVR OpenXR runtime.

Thanks!

Do I need to download this? Unreal - Developer Resources

Here is where they say that my HTC Vive is not supported: Unreal: Overview - Developer Resources

Thank you.

No, that plugin is for the additional features in the other Vive models. The OpenXR plugin built-in to Unreal already provides all the support needed.
