How To Play Cyberpunk 2077 In VR? [Free Mod]

Cyberpunk 2077 is experiencing an influx of daily users due to the hype created by the Edgerunners anime. However, there’s not a lot of new content for returning players, and that’s where the mods come in. VR mods are one of the best ways to play Cyberpunk 2077 and experience Night City in a completely new way.

Players will need a VR headset and a beefy gaming PC to run Cyberpunk 2077 in VR, as it takes more resources than average. There are two VR mods through which all players can experience Night City in full glory. The first mod is Luke Ross’s REAL mod which allows games like GTA V, RDR2, and Cyberpunk 2077 to be played in VR.

However, the R.E.A.L mod can only be accessed through Luke Ross’s Patreon and doesn’t feature motion controls. Fortunately, there’s another free Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod made by VorpX that includes motion controls.
