Walkabout Mini Golf: VR comfort settings & motion-sickness rating
Short answer: Walkabout Mini Golf is very comfortable and a top pick for beginners. It moves you using gentle teleport, the pace is slow and calm, and there's no fast or forced motion — so it rarely triggers VR motion sickness.
Why it's so easy on the stomach
Two things keep Walkabout gentle. First, you move by teleporting between spots rather than gliding smoothly, which skips the visual travel that causes most VR sickness. Second, the whole experience is unhurried — you line up putts and stroll calm, colourful courses. With little fast optic flow, your brain has very little mismatch to react to.
Settings and tips
- Stick with teleport movement (the default). If a smooth-walk option exists, you don't need it here.
- Use snap turning if you prefer to rotate with the stick rather than turning your body — see our comfort settings guide.
- Relax and take your time. The calm pace is part of why it's comfortable — there's no rush.
