Assassin’s Creed Nexus: VR comfort settings & motion-sickness rating

Short answer: Assassin's Creed Nexus is adjustable — intense by default, comfortable with its settings. It features full smooth locomotion plus parkour and climbing, which can challenge a sensitive stomach, but it includes strong comfort options (blinders, teleport, snap turning) that make it very playable.

Why Nexus can feel intense

You run, climb, and leap across rooftops with continuous movement, and there are sequences with height and fast motion. Smooth locomotion and quick turning are the main VR-sickness triggers, and the verticality adds to the effect. Ubisoft built comfort options specifically to tame this, so your setup makes a big difference.

Settings to turn on first

• Enable comfort blinders/vignette so the edges narrow during movement and especially during climbs.
• Use snap turning rather than smooth — the single biggest comfort win; see our comfort settings guide.
• Consider teleport for traversal early on, plus options that reduce the sense of height if heights bother you.
• Short sessions, fan on while you adapt to the parkour.

Easing in

Treat Nexus as a game to grow into: start with blinders, snap turn, and teleport, then loosen settings as your tolerance builds. The action is more demanding than slow exploration games, so ramp up gradually with our habituation schedule. Compare it with calmer picks on the VR game comfort ratings.

Is Assassin's Creed Nexus good for beginners?

Not as a very first game if you're prone to nausea — the climbing and fast movement are demanding. But with its comfort options on, it's approachable once you've adapted to smooth locomotion. Read what works vs what's hype first, or run the comfort & severity check.
