Unreal Engine 4 Making Progress On Linux With Vulkan & SteamVR

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Gaming on 21 March 2017 at 06:58 PM EDT. 2 Comments

Thanks to the work of community UE4 developer Yaakuro, Unreal Engine 4 on Linux with SteamVR support is advancing and can now be used with Vulkan rendering.

Earlier this month the developer got UE4 with SteamVR on Linux running but using the OpenGL renderer. But today he's shared a video showing off UE4 on Linux SteamVR with Vulkan.

Enjoy the video below. Great to see the continued work around both SteamVR and Vulkan gaming on Linux.
