Up for a tour around Hogwarts? The popular game got a VR option, you can walk everywhere

For those who haven’t followed VR gadgets: Virtuix Omni One is a home system that combines a special platform for walking, sensors and Omni Connect software, and its goal is that you can walk and run in all directions in VR games. Recently, Virtuix has been increasingly pushing PC VR combinations and “profiles” for games, and in their Omni Connect release notes it can be seen that Hogwarts Legacy has been added to the list of officially supported titles.

Of course, Hogwarts Legacy isn’t designed as a VR game per se. This is where the second part of the story comes in, community mods and tools like UEVR, a “universal” injector for Unreal Engine games that allows a lot of classic PC games to run in VR mode. The UEVR project is publicly available, and there are profiles for Hogwarts Legacy that try to provide better control and transparency of the interface in VR.

Why do people put so much effort into this game? Quite simply, Hogwarts Legacy was a massive hit. Variety wrote at the beginning of 2024 that by the end of 2023 it had exceeded 22 million copies sold, and later in 2024 it was announced that it had exceeded 30 million. In March 2025, Bloomberg stated that the game had reached about 34 million copies sold, which is a figure that very few games have.

And that’s why it’s not surprising that something is constantly “cooking” around her. On the one hand, the game is still alive through fashion ideas and recordings on the networks, and on the other hand, the story about the additional content is not exactly a fairy tale. Bloomberg and VGC wrote in the spring of 2025 that Warner allegedly stopped the planned DLC and “definitive” edition, because they were not sure that the amount of new content would justify the price and all.

It is also interesting that Hogwarts Legacy still knows how to “jump” into the mainstream, not only through mods. These days, for example, it was part of the big promotions with free downloads on Epic, which again opens the door to a new round of games that are just entering that world.

And as for this “VR run through Hogwarts”, let’s be realistic: this is the type of experience that requires space, tuning forks and a solid PC. If VR causes you nausea otherwise, the opposite can happen here, for some it is easier when the body is actually moving, but for some it is more difficult because it is more intense. In any case, as an idea it is brutal, because the game that most you know by heart, it suddenly becomes something between adventure and training, and the one in which the most “kills” you is an ordinary walk on the Hogwarts stairs.
