Can you play VR while sitting?

Virtual reality is an incredible experience and a fun way to play your favorite games. Many games are built from the ground-up for VR, while others have this feature added later on (looking at you, Resident Evil 4). While playing VR can be a blast, some gamers might get tired of standing. This may leave them wondering if they can play VR while sitting down.

The answer will depend on the game that you are playing. Many games can be played sitting down if you have the space. Check the store page for the game to see what play styles it supports. These typically include Standing, Sitting, and Roomscale.

Before purchasing, most games will inform the player whether they support play while sitting. Each store will display this information in different places, so make sure to give the page a lookover before pulling the trigger and purchasing it.

Having the option to sit while playing VR can give your legs a much-needed break. While this is a great option, players should remember to take breaks throughout the experience. This doesn't just mean sitting down, it means removing the headset, too.
