What Golf Simulator Software Works with the ProTee VX?
The ProTee VX already delivers elite dual-camera tracking with no subscription fees—but its simulator software options are about to level up in a big way. From the upcoming Unreal Engine 5-powered CorePlay to heavy hitters like GSPro and E6 Connect, here’s exactly what works, what it costs, and what kind of PC you’ll need.
The ProTee VX was already a head-turner because at $6,500 with no ongoing subscriptions it undercuts most overhead competitors while delivering dual-camera tracking, complete ball and club data, and a massive 25-inch by 21-inch hitting zone.
But now things get far more interesting. That’s because we learned at the 2026 PGA Show that ProTee is getting ready to unveil CorePlay, their new native sim software that’s a full Unreal Engine 5 platform with stunning graphics, realistic physics, and a course editor that puts creation tools directly in your hands.
We’re talking about the kind of community-driven course creation that makes a platform like GSPro so popular. This to go along with the already established ProTee Labs native practice and analysis platform and their ProTee Play arcade-game-style entertainment software.
CorePlay is expected to launch in beta by the end of Q1 2026 for all ProTee VX owners at no additional cost. From there, we’ll have to see how ProTee rolls out the full version and if there will be any additional costs. Stay tuned for those updates.
In the meantime, the ProTee VX remains compatible with third-party options like GSPro.
Here’s everything you need to know about which simulator software works with the ProTee VX, what hardware you’ll need to run it, and what it’s going to cost.
ProTee VX and CorePlay Compatibility
Again, this software has not yet launched. But we learned at the PGA Show that it is in fact coming. Here’s what we know for now.
Built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, CorePlay is designed to deliver photorealistic course environments with advanced physics that replicate real-world ball flight and course interaction.
But what makes CorePlay genuinely exciting isn’t just the graphics, it’s the integrated course editor that gives users the power to create, modify, and share golf courses.
Think about how GSPro’s community-created courses transformed that platform. Now imagine those same creation capabilities built directly into your simulator software.
CorePlay includes a full-featured course editor that allows users to start from scratch, import LIDAR data from a library of 30,000-plus courses, or even upload custom height maps to generate terrain.
So you can load a LIDAR-generated version of your local course and spend time detailing it to match reality. Or you can build fantasy layouts. Or recreate famous courses. Or play courses created by talented designers in the community. Very cool stuff!
What kind of computer do I need to run CorePlay with the ProTee VX?
ProTee hasn’t released final system requirements yet, but based on PGA Show demonstrations and development team comments, expect requirements similar to or higher than other Unreal Engine 5 golf simulators.
Their development team has been testing successfully on RTX 3070 graphics cards, and they’ve noted that the course editor requires more powerful hardware than basic gameplay due to dynamic rendering.
We’ll update this section with confirmed specifications once ProTee finalizes them.
What does it cost to play CorePlay?
The plan is for ProTee to roll out a free CorePlay beta version later this year. So, as of now, no cost. We’ll see what develops from there.
ProTee VX and ProTee Labs Compatibility
ProTee Labs is the native practice and analysis platform that comes included with every ProTee VX purchase. It’s a perpetual license with no subscription fees.
This is an excellent tool for practice, data analysis, and swing improvement. ProTee Labs gives you comprehensive ball and club data displayed in customizable panels, slow-motion impact replay from the overhead cameras, automatic integration with external swing cameras, shot tracking, dispersion mapping, bag mapping, wedge matrix, and putting analysis.
ProTee Labs also includes the Spin Validator feature, which shows video footage of your ball spinning.
What ProTee Labs doesn’t include is simulated golf courses. This is a platform for practice. That’s why the upcoming native CorePlay course simulation is so exciting.
What kind of computer do I need to run ProTee Labs with ProTee VX?
ProTee Labs requires a Windows PC. Mac users are out of luck with this system.
Minimum PC System Requirements:
- 64-bit Windows 10
- Intel Core i7 @ 3.00 GHz
- 8 GB RAM
- NVIDIA RTX 3060
- Broadband internet connection
- 5 GB available hard drive space
What does it cost to use ProTee Labs?
Nothing. ProTee Labs comes with a perpetual license included with your ProTee VX purchase. There are no subscription fees, no annual renewals, and no hidden costs.
ProTee VX and ProTee Play Compatibility
ProTee Play is something completely different. It’s a cloud-based entertainment platform that transforms your golf simulator into a multi-sport gaming center.
Beyond traditional golf games like longest drive and closest to the pin, ProTee Play includes soccer, darts, bowling, football, zombie shooters, carnival games, and a collection of kid-friendly challenges. It’s designed for families and casual entertainment, not hyper-realistic course play.
ProTee Play works through your web browser and requires no additional hardware beyond your ProTee VX setup.

ProTee Play operates through your web browser and uses the same PC setup as ProTee Labs. The system requirements are identical to those listed for the ProTee Labs above.
What does it cost to use ProTee Play?
The ProTee Play VIP package, which unlocks lifetime access to all games and features, costs $737 as a one-time purchase. You also have the option to purchase annually for $154.
ProTee VX and GSPro Compatibility
GSPro is one of the most popular third-party simulator platforms, loved for its realistic ball flight physics, stunning 4K graphics, and constantly expanding course library thanks to community-created content.
In fact, interestingly, the upcoming native ProTee CorePlay software seems to be gunning for the exact same type of user as GSPro. ProTee has confirmed that their plan is to still support connection with GSPro, even after the CorePlay rollout.
The great thing here is that ProTee doesn’t charge you anything extra to connect to GSPro. That’s not always the case in the launch monitor world.
What kind of computer do I need to run GSPro with the ProTee VX?
GSPro is PC-only and requires a capable gaming computer, especially if you want smooth 4K performance.
Recommended minimum hardware for 1080p play:

ProTee VX E6 Connect and Creative Golf 3D Compatibility
The ProTee VX requires the ProTee 3rd Party Software Connector (a $295 one-time purchase) to work with E6 Connect and Creative Golf 3D. This is not a requirement for other third-party software like GSPro.
What kind of computer do I need to run E6 Connect with the ProTee VX?
One great advantage of E6 Connect is its dual-platform support.
PC System Requirements:
- Intel i5 Processor | 8 GB RAM
- NVIDIA 1070 Graphics Card or equivalent (dedicated GPU with DirectX 11 support)
- 25 GB of hard drive space | Windows 10 64-bit (Required)

What does it cost to play E6 Connect?
E6 Connect offers three licensing options:
- E6 Connect Home License: A one-time purchase of $1,000, providing access to 27 courses without the need for an annual subscription.
- E6 Connect 1-Year Basic Subscription: Priced at $300 per year, this subscription offers access to a rotating selection of courses and mini-games.
- E6 Connect 1-Year Expanded Subscription: At $600 per year, this subscription grants access to the full E6 Connect library, excluding premium content.
And remember, you’ll also have to buy the Software Connector package.
ProTee VX and PinSeeker Compatibility
PinSeeker is transforming sim golf with quick closest-to-the-pin challenges and immediate real-case payouts. It’s becoming wildly popular and requires only as much time as anyone cares to commit, with new contests starting constantly.
What kind of computer do I need to run PinSeeker with the Mevo+?
The PinSeeker app is fully integrated with most golf simulator software packages. Participants compete against other sim golfers who are using the exact same simulator software.
So, hardware requirements for PinSeeker are the same as whatever simulator software you are using. There are no additional requirements.
What does it cost to play PinSeeker?
Because PinSeeker comes integrated with a compatible simulator software package, there is no additional cost to use PinSeeker. However, golfers have the choice to wager money in closest-to-the-pin contests against similar-skilled players who are using the same simulator software. Options range from free contests to buy-ins of more than $100.
Exciting Times Ahead for the ProTee Sim Software Options
We’re already in a great place with the ProTee VX in terms of simulator software compatibility.
The free connection option to platforms like GSPro is a big deal. Though that is countered somewhat by the need for special connector software to link to options like E6 Connect.
But the big news is what’s to come with the rollout of their new flagship native simulator software package, CorePlay. That’s truly going to be a game changer for this overall ecosystem is going to further establish the ProTee VX as an extremely compelling and competitive option in the overhead launch monitor race.
