"Matthieu Bucchianeri, a software engineer that worked on Microsoft's Windows Mixed Reality headsets, has released a free " Oasis Driver for Windows Mixed Reality " on Steam. It's named Oasis as that's the codename Microsoft used for its Windows Mixed Reality efforts. The driver, spotted by , requires an Nvidia GPU, simply because it relies on features "missing in the AMD and Intel graphics driver," according to Bucchianeri."
"While Microsoft should have delivered this type of driver to ensure Windows Mixed Reality headsets weren't useless with the latest Windows 11 updates, Bucchianeri - who is now an Xbox engineer at Microsoft - has created this independently by reverse-engineering Nvidia and SteamVR code. He's not releasing the source code as a result, and the Oasis driver will remain free to use."
Windows Mixed Reality headsets became non-functional after Windows 11 24H2 removed platform support. An Xbox engineer released the free Oasis Driver for Windows Mixed Reality on Steam to restore functionality. The driver requires an Nvidia GPU because it relies on features missing in AMD and Intel graphics drivers. The driver bypasses the Mixed Reality Portal and runs OpenVR and OpenXR applications through SteamVR. The driver provides full headset and motion controller tracking plus a native SteamVR rendering pipeline. The driver was developed by reverse-engineering Nvidia and SteamVR code; the source code is not being released. The Oasis driver remains free and available on Steam with documentation.
