Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Install on Quest, in the card above, is the one-click USB install. These steps are the manual path (SideQuest or ADB).

Overview

Need for Speed: Underground 2 VR runs EA's 2004 street racer natively on Meta Quest 3 using a static recompilation of the original Xbox USA / NTSC-U release (xboxrecomp, Vulkan + OpenXR), based on antoxa2584x's nfsu2-sw. It adds a full cockpit fitted to all 29 stock cars, motion steering by gripping the virtual wheel, working mirrors, a speed display on the instruments and the map on the center console. Same developer as Need for Speed: Underground VR.

Install type: APK + your own game files (imported on the headset).

[!WARNING] Development build, not fully tested. Bugs, crashes, freezes, visual glitches, audio issues, stutters and performance problems can occur, and stable VR frame rates are not guaranteed. Quest 3 is the verified target. The current dev-2026-10-17 downloads include the 0.3.1-dev steering hotfix (October 18): small wheel movements now compensate for the game's stick deadzone. The download URLs stay the same, so reinstall the APK over the old one to get it.

[!IMPORTANT] No game data is included. You need your own unmodified original Xbox USA / NTSC-U copy of Need for Speed: Underground 2. PC and European editions, modified game files, RAR archives and split archives do not work.

Prerequisites

  • Meta Quest 3 with Developer Mode enabled.
  • A computer with SideQuest or ADB, and a USB-C data cable.
  • Your game as .iso/.xiso, a .zip/.7z of the game files (default.xbe and the complete NFSUNDER/ folder, including ZDIR.BIN and ZZDATA0.BIN to ZZDATA9.BIN), or a .zip/.7z containing exactly one ISO.
  • Free space for the import: about 5 GB with a ZIP/7z of game files, 11 GB with a full ~7.8 GB ISO, 17 GB with a ~5.9 GB 7z containing the ISO (about 2.4 GB of verified files stay installed).

Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Download NFSU2VR-Quest3-dev-2026-10-17.apk from the official GitHub Releases (checksums in SHA256SUMS.txt).
  2. Connect the Quest by USB, accept Allow USB debugging, and install it with SideQuest (Install APK file from folder) or: adb install -r NFSU2VR-Quest3-dev-2026-10-17.apk
  3. Copy your ISO or archive to the headset's Download folder (File Explorer: This PC > Quest 3 > Internal shared storage > Download, SideQuest's file manager, or adb push NFSU2-USA.iso /sdcard/Download/). The app installs the files into its own storage during import.
  4. In the headset open Library > Unknown Sources > NFSU2 Quest Development. The first launch opens the game data setup panel.
  5. Press Select archive, browse to Downloads, pick your ISO/XISO/ZIP/7z and wait for Import complete (keep the panel open).
  6. Press Start game. Later launches start the game directly. You can then delete the source file from Download.

Controls

Action Touch control
Steer Left stick, or grip the virtual wheel (motion steering)
Nitro / handbrake A / B
Cycle camera / look back Right stick click / left stick click (outside the cockpit)
Recenter Both stick clicks together
Read SMS / enter race or shop Right stick left / right
Manual gear up / down Right stick up / down
VR Settings Pause, then X (stick or D-pad to adjust, B to save)

VR Settings cover steering sensitivity, wheel rotation, seat height/distance and per-eye resolution (resolution changes need a restart).

Updating: install the new APK over the previous one; do not uninstall first, or imported data, saves and settings are deleted. To change game data later, use NFSU2 · Game data > Reimport game data.

Troubleshooting & Tips

Development build: rendering issues, stutters and performance limits remain and a stable 72 FPS is not established. Import fails or says the data is unsupported: use the unmodified original Xbox USA/NTSC-U Underground 2 disc; PC and European editions, RAR and split archives are not supported (extract on a PC first, then copy the ISO or repack the files as ZIP/7z). Not enough storage: free space for both the source file and the temporary extraction. "Game still running": close the game before reimporting and press Check again. APK copied but no app appears: install with SideQuest's APK installer or adb install -r and check Unknown Sources. Steering feels dead in the center: reinstall the current dev-2026-10-17 APK (0.3.1-dev hotfix) over the old one. Never uninstall to update: that deletes imported data and saves.
