Forget Realistic Textures, There's One Way To Truly Immerse In Cyberpunk 2077

A mod lets players fully immerse themselves in the streets of Night City. CD Project Red's sci-fi RPG already had a first-person narrative for its majority, with players only able to swap to third person for driving, to make players feel like they were exploring its rich world, but a Virtual Reality mod has taken advantage of this to take things a step further.

VR mod still requires a regular game controller and has a gun or weapon mapped to the player's facial movements, rather than the experience players have with full VR titles in which they have a specific controller in each hand that
