NomaiVR and the Outer Wilds modding tools have been updated to support the Xbox app / Game Pass version of Outer Wilds. There are often deals for 1-3 months of PC game pass for 1$, so it's a good opportunity to try this VR mod if you still haven't.
Unfortunately this Xbox app version requires some setup to allow for modding:
- Close the Xbox app (close it in the system tray too, to make sure it's gone completely).
- Get the Xbox Insider Hub app.
- Start the Xbox Insider Hub app.
- Select "Previews", and then "Windows Gaming".
- Click "Join" and wait for the process to finish.
- At this point, you might need to let the Xbox app install some updates, I'm not sure. I opened the Windows App Store and let it install all pending updates just to be sure.
- Open the Xbox app.
- On the top right, click your avatar, then, "Settings".
- Select "General".
- Under "Game install options", check "Use advanced installation and management features".
- Exit the settings menu.
- Select Outer Wilds in your library.
- Open the three dots menu, and select "Manage".
- Under "Advanced management features", click "Enable".
- Wait for the process to finish.
- In the same "Manage" menu, go to the "Files" tab.
- Click "Browse...". This should open a folder with your Xbox PC games.
- Open the Outer Wilds folder, and then the Content folder.
- You should now see the game files, including Outer Wilds.exe.
- Now start the Outer Wilds Mod Manager, install NomaiVR, and try to start the game.
- It should automatically detect that you have the Xbox app version of the game, unless you have multiple versions of the game.
- If the manager has trouble finding it, you can go to the mod manager's options and change the game path to that "Content" folder I mentioned before.
