If you're a soccer fan and have recently explored the world of virtual reality, you may have wondered, "Can we play FIFA in VR?" The short answer is no—at least not in the way you might expect. Although FIFA (also known as EA SPORTS FC), the globally popular soccer video game series, is available on consoles and PCs, there’s no official VR version of FIFA that fully immerses you on the pitch like you might hope.

But don't worry! There are exciting alternatives if you want to experience soccer in virtual reality. Let’s dive into the options available, including a thrilling new way to experience being a goalkeeper with our game, CleanSheet Soccer, and some VR workarounds for playing FIFA through Xbox Cloud Gaming on the Quest 3.

Why Isn’t FIFA Available in VR?

FIFA has revolutionized how we play soccer games on traditional gaming platforms, but it's a complex and visually demanding game that hasn’t been translated into a VR format. Why? Creating an immersive soccer experience in VR requires not just stunning 3D graphics, but also a whole new way to control the game in a virtual environment.

While FIFA gives you control of an entire team, VR soccer experiences are better suited to giving players a more focused role on the pitch—like that of a goalkeeper. That’s where CleanSheet Soccer comes in.

FIFA Alternatives for Virtual Reality Players

If you still have your heart set on playing FIFA in VR, there are some workarounds and alternative ways to enjoy soccer on VR platforms. While you can't fully immerse yourself in FIFA on a VR headset, you can use your Oculus Quest 3 or other VR headsets to play FIFA using cloud gaming solutions.

Xbox Cloud Gaming on the Oculus Quest 3

Did you know you can play FIFA on your Oculus Quest 3 using Xbox Cloud Gaming? It’s not the full VR experience, but it allows you to stream the console version of FIFA and play on a large, virtual 2D screen within your VR headset. Here's how:

1. Set Up Xbox Cloud Gaming: On your Quest 3, use the Oculus Browser to access Xbox Cloud Gaming, or use the virtual desktop feature to stream FIFA from your Xbox to your VR headset.
2. Play FIFA on a Huge Virtual Screen: Once connected, you can play FIFA using your Xbox controller while sitting in a VR environment, where the game appears on a massive screen in front of you.

While this doesn’t provide the immersive gameplay that VR-native games offer, it does allow you to play FIFA in a cool and unique way using your VR headset.

Conclusion

While you can’t play a fully immersive FIFA in VR just yet, there are still great options to enjoy soccer action on your VR headset. Whether it's using Xbox Cloud Gaming on your Quest 3 or trying out dedicated VR soccer games like CleanSheet Soccer, there’s something for every soccer fan in the virtual world.

If you're looking for the best soccer experience in VR right now, CleanSheet Soccer gives you a unique and exciting way to dive into the game. Instead of managing 11 players on a console, you'll feel the thrill of making that game-winning save up close and personal!
