What is Cyberpunk 2077?

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action role-playing game by CD Projekt. It was released for PC and Console on December 10th, 2020. 

The story occurs in Night City, an open world in the Cyberpunk universe. Players are a customizable mercenary known as V. V can acquire skills in hacking and machinery with options for melee and ranged combat. You can spend hours navigating Cyberpunk’s vast city if you don’t want to play through the storyline. The city has six different areas, filled with open-ended action to explore.

Cyberpunk is hailed as one of the largest and most ambitious open-world games ever. To fully complete the game, over 150 hours worth of missions and side quests are included. This game’s graphics and recommended CPU and GPU are some of the highest ever released.

Cyberpunk 2077 VR

During the game’s development, eager VR fans contacted the studio to find out if there would be official VR support.

Adam Kicinski, preside of CD Projekt, replied with the following.

“The issue becomes more challenging when we factor in game design. There are substantial changes which must be taken into account when working on a VR-specific product. Our current focus is on the PC and console editions of Cyberpunk, so we’re not moving in that direction right now.“– Adam Kicinski, CEO of CD Projekt

So official Cyberpunk 2077 VR support is not on the horizon. As of 2026, two free, community-built options exist to play the game in virtual reality:

• Cyberpunk 2077 in VR mod by the VorpX team (no VorpX purchase required, simplest setup, gesture-based controls)
• The CyberpunkVR Port – a free, open-source mod with true full motion controls, more setup required

Note: Luke Ross’s paid R.E.A.L VR mod, which used to be a popular third option, was pulled from Patreon in 2026 after a DMCA dispute with CD Projekt Red. It is no longer available, so we’ve removed it from this guide. Check out our FAQ below for details.

Both remaining options work well for being unofficial community projects.

Next, we’ll show you the requirements to play Cyberpunk 2077 in VR and how to get set up and play.

How to Play Cyberpunk 2077 in VR without VorpX

Download the Cyberpunk 2077 VR Mod

Click here to download the Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod. The creator of VorpX released it for the 10 year celebration of the software tool. You do not need VorpX at all to run this mod anymore. As of this update, the mod is actively maintained and supports up to Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.31.

Install the Cyberpunk 2077 in VR Mod

Double-click the exe installer you just installed and follow the instructions on the screen. The installer will ask you for the location where you have Cyberpunk installed on your computer and will attach the VR mod to it.

Adjust Monitor Resolution

Next, you need to adjust the resolution of your game for VR play. To do this, open up the NVIDIA Control Panel navigation tree pane from your Windows taskbar.

Under Display, click Change resolution to open the Change Resolution page.

Click the image that represents the display you want to affect.

Click on Customize and create a custom resolution that you’ll use for playing the game in VR. These are the custom resolutions that are supported in 2077:

1. 1280 × 752
2. 1600 × 1440
3. 2400 × 2160
4. 2560 × 1504
5. 3200 × 1800

The higher the resolution you create and select, the more powerful your gaming PC has to be. 

Click Apply when done.

Launch Cyberpunk 2077

First, open SteamVR and then start Cyberpunk 2077. You’ve installed the VR mod, so it will attach itself to the game when you run it.

Change Your Resolution in Cyberpunk

From the main menu of the game, click on Settings.

Then select the Video tab at the top.

Change your Resolution to the one you created and selected in the last step.

OPTIONAL: Install Better Field of View Mod

In order to make the VR view better in the game, there is a Cyberpunk 2077 mod that can help. It installs a better field of view slider.

This mod:

• changes the minimum field of view from 70 to 30
• alters the maximum FOV from 100 to 150
• Changes the FOV step from 5 to 1.

To install this mod into the game:

1. Click here to go to the Better Field of View Slider mod page.
2. Download the mod to your computer and extract the files out of the .7z zip file.
3. On your computer, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk 2077\r6\config\settings\platform\PC
4. Replace the options.json file in this folder with the one downloaded in the mod folder.

Note, you may have to adjust your zoom settings in the game in order to get your first person view working correctly.

And that’s it! With a few setup steps, you can fully play Cyberpunk 2077 in VR. You may encounter some bugs and glitches while you play, but it sounds like regular users are encountering those already!

How to Play Cyberpunk 2077 in VR with the CyberpunkVR Port Mod

In 2026, a new free and open-source mod called the CyberpunkVR Port became the most capable way to play Cyberpunk 2077 in VR, especially now that Luke Ross’s paid mod is gone. It’s built as a RED4ext plugin by developer dariulone, released under the MIT license, and it’s under active development.

What Makes the CyberpunkVR Port Different

Unlike VorpX, which reprojects the flat-screen game into VR, the CyberpunkVR Port renders real stereo 3D and adds true 6DoF motion controls, including:

• Motion-controlled hands with a full-body avatar (VRIK leg and body tracking)
• Physical weapon reloading, tuned individually for 13 weapons
• Melee attack detection and hand-to-holster equipping
• VR driving with one- or two-handed grip steering
• Support for 13 headsets and 60 resolutions, including Meta Quest, Valve Index, HTC Vive, Windows Mixed Reality, and PSVR2, over both OpenXR and SteamVR

It’s still an early-stage project (version 0.1.x), so expect the occasional bug. Recent updates have focused on fixing performance drops near security cameras and turrets and tuning weapon handling. It’s actively maintained, with new releases shipping every few weeks.

Requirements and Dependencies

The CyberpunkVR Port needs a few other mods installed first. This is normal for deep Cyberpunk 2077 mods and only takes a few extra minutes. Install RED4ext, Cyber Engine Tweaks, and redscript first (the usual Nexus dependencies for scripted Cyberpunk mods), then grab these additional mods from Nexus Mods, all for Cyberpunk 2077:

• ArchiveXL
• TweakXL
• Codeware (version 1.20 or newer, older versions will fail to compile)
• Visual Holsters (Automatic Clothes Swap)
• Visible Bullets (Projectile Restoration)
• Equipment-EX
• Nova Optics
• Input Loader
• HUDitor (recommended, not required)

Your game also needs to be on patch 2.31 for this version of the mod.

Download and Install the CyberpunkVR Port

1. Once the dependencies above are installed, go to the CyberpunkVR Port releases page and download the latest release archive (v0.1.4 at the time of writing).
2. Extract the archive directly into your Cyberpunk 2077 game root folder, the same folder that already contains your bin\, r6\, and red4ext\ folders.
3. Double check you don’t end up with more than one .dll file inside any red4ext\plugins\CyberpunkVR_* folder. RED4ext loads every DLL it finds in there, and duplicates from a previous install will crash the game.

Before launching the game, start your OpenXR runtime (or SteamVR) first, the same way you would for any other PC VR title.

First Launch and Controls

Once you’re in the game with your headset connected, use these hotkeys:

• F10 or Insert – opens the in-headset settings overlay, with tabs for General (world scale, IPD, head offset), Controls (weapon aim, locomotion, snap turn, driving), Stereo (HUD and performance settings), and VRIK (hand tracking and body calibration)
• F7 – recenters your headset view
• F8 – toggles the VR menu between full-headset and a small panel
• F11 – opens the HUDitor editor, if you installed it

Your settings are saved automatically to a vrport.ini file, so you only need to dial in comfort settings like world scale and IPD once.

VorpX vs CyberpunkVR Port: Which Should You Use?

Now that Luke Ross’s mod is gone, the choice is between VorpX and the CyberpunkVR Port. Here’s how we’d decide:

Use VorpX if you want to be playing in the next five minutes. It’s a single free download, no other mods required, and it’s been maintained since 2020 with regular updates for new game patches. Controls are gesture-based rather than fully physical, but setup is genuinely simple.

Use the CyberpunkVR Port if you want the most immersive experience and don’t mind spending 15-20 extra minutes installing dependency mods first. You get real stereo rendering, full motion-controlled hands, physical weapon reloading, and VR driving, a genuinely different feel from VorpX. Just know it’s a young project (v0.1.x) under active development, so treat it as very good but not fully polished yet.

How to Play Cyberpunk 2077 on the Meta Quest

Both methods above work to play Cyberpunk 2077 on the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, and Meta Quest 3S using Oculus Link, Air Link, or Virtual Desktop, your Quest is just acting as the display and controllers while the game actually runs on your PC.
