FlatOut 4: Total Insanity VR

The FlatOut series is known for races where a car turns into a heap of metal and the driver flies out through the glass. The VR version keeps that spirit and adds a sense of presence: you sit in the cabin while everything in your path crumbles around you.

Mutar and Flat2VR Spark worked on the port. The game is in early access, so the set of features and hardware support may change as updates arrive.

FlatOut 4: Total Insanity VR brings the destructive arcade racing series into a virtual reality headset, and the idea is simple: you sit behind the wheel instead of watching the crash from the side. The view is first-person only, with full motion tracking support, and every mistake on the track feels closer than it does on a monitor screen. Everything in the cockpit works: you can see your hands on the wheel, the mirrors function, and the speedometer is visible if you look down. Leaning to look into a corner or checking whether a rival is closing in are ordinary things in VR, but in a race where cars collide constantly, they give a very different sense of speed and risk. There are plenty of modes. In a regular race, the fight is body against body, and in a time trial there are no weapons and no rivals, only the track and the stopwatch. The weapon mode turns a race into a combat race where you can shoot back and dodge. In Carnage mode, points come from destruction and chains of collisions. Stunt mode offers twelve challenges in which the driver is catapulted through the windshield for distance and accuracy. The arena has six venues for battles, where you can play deathmatch, capture the flag, and survival mode. Online mode supports eight players, so you can compete against real opponents. You can control the game with motion controllers, and for those who want more, there is support for a steering wheel, pedals, and a manual gearbox. DLSS and CAS sharpening are supported, and the developers update the list of compatible wheels. The game was released in May 2026 in early access. The text is translated into Russian, and there is no Russian voice-over. You need a VR headset and a graphics card at the level of NVIDIA 1660 or higher, and at least 16 gigabytes of RAM. For those who missed the series, this is a good reason to come back, now with a sense of presence.
