In the case of some games that work in either VR or standard mode, like Subnautica, you might notice that launching the game without a VR headset plugged into your PC will still launch SteamVR and the Oculus app in the background. How to launch hybrid games in non-VR mode If you're using a Vive or WMR, SteamVR should automatically launch. In our testing, with an Oculus Rift S connected to the PC, Subnautica automatically launched the Oculus app and provided VR support without any extra steps. If you come across a game that has VR support but doesn't provide the extra launch options - like Subnautica - your best bet is to plug in your preferred VR headset before launching the game.
