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.
bengeskin shared a clip of a VR mod in action on Threads, showing V's perspective as they drive around different parts of Night City at different times of the day and stating "". While this may seem no different from the normal first-person view players can see when driving the car in the base game, the fact that bengeskin was able to move their head to look around instead of depending on the right stick of the controller made the experience far more fluid, and would likely come in handy in the recently implemented police chases to better keep tabs on where enemy vehicles are coming from.
bengeskin went on to explain that they were using the LukeRoss R.E.A.L VR Mod with Virtual Desktop streamer to sync it to a Meta Quest 3 headset. This can be found on LukeRoss' Patreon, where there are several other VR mods for other games such as or, both of which have been shown on Eurogamer's YouTube channel. Previously, LukeRoss made a VR for, but unfortunately, Take-Two issued a DMCA takedown notice, as the company has been known to do with many mods for its games, much to the frustration of its community and so this is no longer available.
These mods seem to do an incredible job of letting players better immerse themselves in the rich environments these titles are known for. As pointed out by a user on the CD Projekt Red forums, it's worth noting in the case of at least, the R.E.A.L. 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 tracks their movements.
While there have been several mods to enhance textures or lighting even further to create more realism, the main thing that sets exploring Night City in VR apart is its sheer sense of scale. Looking up at Megabuildings in VR, they seem almost never-ending as they tower over players, naturally building a further sense of oppression that the residents of Night City so often talk about but can now be truly felt. With the improvements made to VR platforms over the years and the praise LukeRoss received for their mod, hopefully, CD Projekt Red could consider implementing such a feature for 's upcoming sequel, codenamed.

Sometimes, going down a lore rabbit hole can only make things more confusing. That's the case for one late-game encounter that V may or may not experience, depending on their decision in a much earlier mission. Random attacks by heavily-armed gonks aren't unheard of in ; the mystery usually relates to where they came from. They'll usually have some sort of Datashard on them, which may reveal who they are and who they're working for, or at least confirm whether they were hired to take out V specifically.
A long-standing mystery finally has a satisfactory solution — but it wasn't answered by. 's massive, game-changing DLC resolved many secrets, answering a number of lingering questions about people, places, and things otherwise unexplained. But it couldn't turn over every stone. The setting still retains a lot of mystique. Whether someone at CD Projekt Red is saving these secrets for the sequel to , or no one's come up with a good answer yet, varies from case to case.
The inclusion of one confusing mechanic could enhance its sequel,. While there have been several updates to, and there's still the possibility for some smaller additions in the future, it has been confirmed that CD Projekt Red has largely shifted work toward the sequel, so rather continue to amend what came before, players can look forward to seeing what features can be improved or built upon going forward.
A hidden detail makes one of the game's more disturbing braindances even more eerie. Throughout CD Projekt Red's sci-fi RPG, players are able to relive moments from other Night City residents' perspectives through a virtual reality-type recording called braindances, which lets V feel their emotional states and anything they physically felt, as well as watching events unfold. In the universe, this is used as a major form of entertainment covering adult content, adrenaline chasers, and more, but V often uses them as ways to help with investigations, rewinding the footage and inspecting it on different levels to find clues.
Almost 200 new gigs have been added to , with the intent of helping players find some of the game's biggest secrets. While playing CD Projekt Red's sci-fi RPG, there are several easy-to-find side activities, such as gigs, which are marked on the map or activated via calls on the Holocom for players to get involved in. Despite this, the world of Night City is so rich and layered that there are bound to be elements that players don't discover upon their initial playthrough, regardless of how many hundreds of hours players may find themselves sinking into the game.
Johnny Silverhand is one of the most popular characters in so players wishing they could hang out more with Keanu Reeves' rockstar are in luck because a new mod makes him far more social. In the vanilla version of CD Projekt Red's RPG, the projection of Johnny's consciousness, which is embedded in protagonist V's head, appears throughout the story to both offer advice to players and just offer his thoughts on the current state of Night City. Unfortunately, those wanting to relax with Silverhand can only do so in V's original apartment, even if they own other properties.
There is no shortage of poorly released games. We’ve seen quite a few that just failed to hit the mark. Few games manage to recover and truly turn things around. Among that short list is CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. However, looking at the game now, we can see just how much the game has transformed into a more optimized and thrilling gameplay experience.
Igor Sarzyński, the creative director of Cyberpunk 2077, has taken to Twitter to tantalize fans with hints about what appears to be one of the final secrets yet to be uncovered in the Phantom Liberty quest. His post emerged a few days after another developer revealed that there are several closely guarded secrets within Cyberpunk 2077's universe that no player has yet stumbled upon.
's Night City is full of references to other media, with its own version of the Batmobile found within a cave, to one of the fastest bikes in the game, the Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X, which is also known as the motorbike from. Some details, however, open up a multiversal can of worms, mainly surrounding the works of actor Keanu Reeves, who also portrays Rockerboy Johnny Silverhand in the game.
