PSVR Exclusive ‘Astro Bot Rescue Mission’ Comes to Quest 3 Amid VR Modding Boom

AI vibecoding has caused a veritable explosion in the VR modding scene. The latest to benefit: PSVR exclusive and critically acclaimed platformer Astro Bot Rescue Mission (2018).

VR modder ‘Bigmak94’ has released another mod, this time bringing Astro Bot Rescue Mission to Quest 3 and PC VR.

Also known for their Super Mario Galaxy VR mod, Bigmak94 asked AI agent Claude to modify shadPS4, an open-source PlayStation 4 emulator for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The modder reveals in a Reddit post that Claude effectively output two versions: a native Quest 3 version you can sideload and play on-device, and a PCVR you can stream to other headsets. Check it out in action below:

Like all VR mods, users need a copy of the game in question, which needs to be dumped from the console. You can find information on that and how to install the so-dubbed ‘AstroQuest’ mod via the project’s GitHub.

Notably, the mod includes 6DOF headset tracking, native controller mapping, and immersive spatial audio. While the standalone Quest 3 build is considered fully functional and playable, the headset’s mobile GPU is “pushed to its limits,” Bigmak94 says. Native standalone visuals are said to run at lower resolutions and visual fidelity compared to the original PS4 hardware or the PC VR mode.

What’s more, users can also pair and play via PS5 DualSense controller, which stands in for the PS4 controller the game expects, including the proper buttons, sticks, touchpad, motion sensors, rumble and light bar.
