It’s a game about flashy action, power fantasies, and stomping on…
Headsets up, VR fans! Master modder Luke Ross is back with another brilliant update for his R.E.A.L. VR mod and this time it allows you to experience the thrills of Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City in virtual reality.Just like Luke’s other R.E.A.L. VR mods there are no motion controls here, only head tracking.
