Shenmue 3 – First-Person Motion-Controlled UEVR Profile DLSS5 Launches

Posted on September 1, 2026 at 21:29 PM BST

A complete UEVR profile for playing Shenmue III in first-person VR with motion controls from Tensai37

This release adds motion-controlled mini-games and DLSS 5 support.

What’s New in v1.1

  • Fixed extreme blur that occurred during some cutscenes and combat.

Features

  • First-person view with automatic switching to third person when needed.
  • Gesture-based motion-controlled combat with haptic feedback.
  • Motion-controlled mini-games.
  • DLSS 5 support that works correctly in both eyes in VR.
  • Full motion controls: press Right Grip to interact with items, open doors and drawers, pick herbs, and perform many other interactions.
  • The Left Trigger opens the menu and also works as a search control when near searchable objects or areas, excluding herbs and herb maps.

DLSS 5 Performance Notice

DLSS 5 is extremely demanding in VR.

GeForce RTX 5090 or GPU with similar performance is required to use DLSS 5 at playable VR performance.

Less powerful GPUs may experience severe frame-rate drops, stuttering, or other performance problems.

Required UEVR Version

You must use UEVR nightly version 01127:
