At a glance

Sniper Elite VR is a stealth-action first-person shooter from Rebellion Developments, released for Windows in 2021. Set in southern Italy in 1943, it follows a fighter with the Italian Resistance facing occupying forces. The campaign has 18 replayable missions, and movement allows players to use stealth and distraction against enemy troops and vehicles. The arsenal described includes rifles, submachine guns, pistols, shotguns, grenades, and explosives, with weapon handling and ballistics designed for VR. The series' X-ray kill-cam also returns in a version rebuilt for virtual reality. The game is VR-only, and its Steam features include single-player, tracked controller support, achievements, leaderboards, and Family Sharing. The supplied platform is Windows. It is a self-contained campaign rather than a multiplayer entry in the listed features, and its shooting, stealth, and weapon handling are framed around VR play.
