Hey folks, sorry for the radio silence of these last few days! I was actually about to package and release the new mod at the beginning of the week, when it suddenly dawned on me that maybe there was a way to implement a first person camera for the game. (So yes, as some of you have already guessed, it is originally a third-person title.)

I hate last-minute ideas, because they inevitably bring crunch and a huge risk of failure and disappointment. Yet, there was zero chance that I could pass up on something that looked so promising. I decided to at least try to implement it, even if that meant delaying the release for some indeterminate (hopefully not too large) amount of time. Then the curiosity to actually see the game from the new perspective got the better of me, and I literally worked day and night, first to prove that it was actually possible, and after that to iron out all of the kinks. Well, most of them :-)

And now it's finished! One could say it's gone gold, in a sense. For this release, I'll be teaming up with Casandra of Cas and Chary VR, who will be doing a video (p)review on their YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe while you're at it, as the channel is frequently updated with lots of awesome content, and be ready for the release this Saturday! I sure hope that during our final playtesting tomorrow we don't find any showstopping issues, but with Cyberpunk 2077 already on the horizon, even if there are some minor problems I will release anyway and sort them out later. After all, that's what early access is for, isn't it? Though I tend to be a perfectionist who's never satisfied with the quality of his work, but there comes a moment when the baby just wants to be born.

VR Santa arrives early this year! I hope that you'll enjoy playing the game as much as I enjoyed modding it. Well, I actually hope that for you it will be a somewhat less stressful experience []-D

Anyone can guess what this game is?

Bob Douglass

if cyberpunk 2077 is on the horizon, perhaps it's the witcher iii?

WIG

whatever it is I am glad you take the time to add first person. So much more immersive

Christian

That's amazing news Luke I'm glad you implemented first person view! It's definitely worth the wait. Does horizon also work on the pimax headsets without parallel projection?

VirtualmisterL

Awesome. With that clue, i guess its horizon zero dawn as others guessed earlier

petrus munteanu

I actually have no idea, but my curiosity went through the roof

WIG

Death stranding uses the same engine as horizon zero dawn Decima

WIG

Possibly, both use varients of red engine

CozyViera

I'm guessing it's Witcher 3? He's working on Cyberpunk so I'd think it would make the most sense given they're on the same engine and it also got a huge share of the votes

2026-11-01 17:00 HZD on 1st person, OMG !!!!! Nice the partnership with Cas & Chary, one of the best VR channels, didn't know she was into mods. Even if it releases early, I'll wayt till the 22dn, for the winter sale XD PD: After this crunch you should put February as ETA for CP2077 ....

Witcher 3 is not DX12, and he said it was a DX12 game ...

Cercata

Bioshock is first person, so not posible acording to what he says in this post

Christian

That's good to know. Then maby we would hafe a mod faster :)

Christian

I think I only gonna play cyberpunk in vr after the new gen update in February.

Tamás Kiss

Cool, I can't wait! I've already bought CP77, but there is always more room for more... :) This weekend is so great, Witcher season 2 on Friday and new mod on Saturday! Happy Holidays People!

Cercata

Hints he has given: DX12, Open World, 3 words and 3rd person now ... in the coments of the previous post we were guessing it was HZD, but no confirmation.

Cercata

Hmmmmm, that's the kind of the game that looks boring on flat screen but could be awesome on VR !!!!!!

Nicky Butler

I have the bladerunner mod on cyberpunk hopefully itl still work in vr. The blade runner mod only replaces the billboards around the city so should be ok. Vr and the blade runner mod will be a cyberpunk fans dream specialy if u love the film as much as me :)

Christian

Everything is boring on a flatscreen if you have a thast of R.E.A.L vr you never going back!

Christian

And you deserve it almost every month a new vr game. Enjoy your hard work!

Andre Warringa

I read the first line of this post, immediately clicked the download button for Cyberpunk.. I played that in flat mode for 4 hours and then deleted it, but I'd love to play it in VR. Then I read it's something else.. curioussss :)

WIG

"Suddenly DAWNed on me" "There was ZERO" "With CP2077 on the HORIZON" Ah so I think I cracked the case

Ghanth

Damn I love that post title ! Should I get Cyberpunk for the weekend ?

realvr

It's not Cyberpunk yet!! It's the other game that I had already begun working on before I put out the poll

Deehn

"it suddenly dawned on me" ... Luke's too smart for this not to be intentional... or is this a false lead ... humm I can see the horizon a bit clearer I think

MJB

Horizon Zero Dawn. I never finished that game. I'll replay from the beginning if that's what it is. VR on it should be awesome.

WIG

Yea I played a bit on launch but held off so they could fix the police spawns etc but then heard about possible vr mod so held off and won't play non vr now I bet it looks beautiful in vr. Once next gen cards come maybe even rtx on in VR

Max Martin

Who ya gunna call? 🤪

Christian

Wow good found xd ;)

Christian

It's definitely worth the wait. I hope the new RTX 4000 wil supports dual video cards for vr gaming. 8k gaming in rdr2 in vr with a pimax 8kx looks so real and beautiful but with mod overlay 12 fps on a rtx 3090 it's not playable like that :(

realvr

Haha, dual RTX 4000! You must be made of money :-D

Cercata

Yes, he deserves good hollydays !!!!

2026-11-01 17:00 I thought maybe its Halo Master Chief collection hence the "Legendary" in the title, but that is not a third person game.
2021-12-17 07:42

Cercata

Yes, we see it already in the horizon ;) He also said "with Cyberpunk 2077 already on the horizon"

Christian

Haha not realy I buy it for vr but when I am watching series, movies, or just surfing on the internet I'm mining on nicehash I get around 9 euro per day if I run it 24 hours but if I'm not gaming I mine 8 hours a day and in the weekend more. So between 3 a 5 years I got a free pc :)

Cercata

I meant i looked boring even for the "me" of 10 years ago :P

Cercata

If he made it that clear, then there must be also hints of whats comming after CP2077 XD

Gamertag VR

When do Patrons get access?

Gamertag VR

SWEET! I’ll get downloading now so I can feature it on my channel too

Robin White

I'm with you 100% guys. Two clear hints in Luke's announcement, and as you said - he's too smart for that not to be deliberate :) Crazy thing is, I've had that game for over a year and only just started looking at it since latest patch because previously for me at least it was very unstable. It finally runs without crashing as of this month so that would be perfect timing! Also makes me excited that we might one day see Death Stranding in VR given that they both use Decima engine

Robin White

Your ambition, passion for your craft and your work rate are inspiring Luke. It's a win win for both the creator and the patrons. Patreon at its very best!

Cercata

No confirmation, but all the hints point to the Horizon ;)

Cercata

We need to clone him XD

2026-11-01 17:00 Hmmm, if it is horizon zero D then those dodge rolls against certain enemy types will be quite jarring in VR. Will have to adopt more hit and run tactics and Stealth methinks.

2026-11-01 17:00 I've been following your work since the GTA V mod. Read the article about Cyberpunk 2077 and was waiting till next month to join you Patreon. Saw a cryptic post on Twitter and decide to join early for Xmas! Excited to see what game you have modded next. Gg

Steve Thurston

Before you put out the poll, does that mean the game coming out was not listed in the poll?

Ghanth

Ok Luke... so should I get Zero Dawn for the week end or maybe the Whitcher 3 ?

realvr

Welcome! Why don't you check out RDR2 in the meantime? ^_^

Black Aesop (edited)

2026-11-01 17:00 I'm actually doing that as we speak 😅
2021-12-17 11:23

Steve Thurston

A lot points to HZD thou (high hopes) when it suddenly dawned on me inevitably bring crunch and a huge risk of failure There was zero chance One could say it's gone gold already on the horizon when the baby just wants to be born I'm sure you said other things that could point to HZD as well.

Christian

When that happens I hope first person view goes automatically too smooth third person view.

Cercata

DId you play RE4VR ? Some things with autoswap to third person, like pushing boxes, worked very well. Curious to see what luke did

Cercata

An advice, sometimes, just ride the horse slowly, if not, you'll miss many details the game has to offer, because NPCs (humans and animials) react to your noise. It's so nice to apreciate those details in VR.

realvr

Thank you so much, Robin!!! Much appreciated <3

Arturs Gerskovics

One of the Patreons I have no intention unsubscribing. Keep up the good work, mate!

realvr

Thank you so much for your longstanding support, Arturs!!!

Black Aesop

Yeah I plan to take my time w/ it and take in the sites for sure. Thanks for the advice.

2026-11-01 17:00 Hey Luke.. I'm a little confused. Is 1.5.2 the latest mod version or is it 2.1.3? I already installed 1.5.2 but read in the comments there is an update? Thanks in advance m8.
2021-12-17 14:08

Christian

When the battle ends I think the best thing to do is you press the button yourself to get to first person view, but we wil see how Luke have done it.

Christian

You have too Download the latest file and that file is for rdr2 and mafia

Black Aesop

can you link me please and thank you.

Black Aesop

Never mind Christian I found it. TY m8

Black Aesop (edited)

Comment edits

2026-11-01 17:00 So I copied over the 2.1.3 files but when I launch it says there is an update ready? Should I just re-install the game?
2021-12-17 15:21

realvr

Did you run RealConfig?

Black Aesop

TY Luke! Running great now. Blown away w/ what you have done w/ this. I'm on a RTX 3080 and it's brilliant.

2026-11-01 17:00 I'll stay subbed for the long haul m8.

realvr

Great Black, thank you!!

WIG

Full on top tear games in VR thanks to the r.e.a.l is so cool. I do like native but the calibre of a lot of titles is lower generally due to small budgets for indie Devs so Luke converting A1 games is amazing and seeing all the characters and environments in real size is so cool. Leaning out peaking around a wall with your actual head and shooting too never gets old. Reshade too for some games too,. Freedom to tweak everything to make it look real

The Merote

Exciting times, I hope I already have this game in my Steam Library, I have so many now sitting there gathering digital dust waiting for a Luke update. :)

Greyhaim

HZD downloaded and ready to go. Would never have thought of playing this until now. Awesome stuff Luke!

Doggo

in RDR2 at 2970 x 2970 the menu is horizontally shrunken - is there a way to fix that? Thanks!

realvr

Yes! Since release 1.4.3 I made a little QOL improvement to the mod: when you're using resolutions higher than 2700x2700 and the sidemenu is cut off to the left (for instance when selecting fast travel destinations), press the Menu button on the gamepad to enter RDR2's pause menu. When the game is paused, just press both thumbsticks to have the mod automatically switch to 2700x2700 resolution, then press Menu again to return to the game. That will allow you to read the sidemenu and perform interactions correctly. When you're done with the sidemenu, just do the same thing again: press Menu, then both thumbsticks, then Menu. The mod will revert to your favorite resolution.

Doggo

Amazing - testing :)

Doggo

With a steam controller that does not seem to change the resolution for me? There is a thumbpad on the right and thumbstick on the left of the controller if I click those that doesnt seem to trigger the resolution switch

realvr

I'm sorry, I don't have a Steam controller to test with. Does it recognize the double trigger gesture to activate the mod overlay?

Doggo

No worries - they have been phased out of production so i geuss they will become a bit of an oddity. It does not seem to work on double trigger either.

realvr

Please use the "Reply to comment" button to avoid creating a new thread for each comment :-) Maybe there's a way that you can configure Steam so that your controller emulates a normal Xbox gamepad?

Black Aesop

Waiting on the surprise mod announcement legit feels like xmas eve! Excitement intensifies. :3

Flowzen

sooo..it´s saturday in my country since 3 hours now.. i´m waiting. just kidding :D thanks for your work man! :) ..and a very good morning to you :)

Doggo

apologies - feel free to delete :). Can confirm functionality with a xbox controller - but will perservere with the steam controller and look at the emulation options. Cheers,

Hoshi82

Patreon since the very first RDR2 VR mod version and I didn't want to cancel it as I had hoped for a CP2077 mod. And now it's happening. The time I will be walking down the streets in Night City I will be ever thankfull for your hard work! Amazing job you doing here.

Andre Warringa

Before I buy and download it - is it absolutely sure that it's HZD now?

Gamertag VR

Where is the mod please? It’s 09:30 in the uk?

Christian

It's saturday we want the R.E.A.L vr mod!

Cercata

A hint for the video release time ? :P

Christian

It can't the baby wants to be born!

2026-11-01 17:00 Maybe the game is one of the MASS EFFECT games. Edit, scrap that. The "Zero", "dawned" and then "Horizon" in the text is the biggest clue ever. Still, Mass Effect trilogy in VR would be wonderful.
2021-12-18 11:02

Matic Sterle

Hope you're right.. Horizon Zero Down in VR would be epic :D

Koni Blank

when is the release of the mod?

Good things come to those who wait for

God's love sent Jesus to save us, not judge us.

This was a big surprise and it is a alternative for me. Cyberpunk has to much questionable billboards and ads. Immoral explicit images. Until a mod removes that. Visually the lighting for hzd mod is the most realistic to actuality. Don't care if textures don't match cutscenes. Updates surely will improve.

Philip H

what do you think about witcher 3

Todd Lewis

Checking in on the status of the CYBERPUNK 2077 VR mod - is it still looking like that will be coming in January? Can't wait! Thanks agian, Luke, for all you're doing!

realvr

Thank you Todd! Here's my reply to a similar question in another thread: I'm still hoping to make it, but I don't feel like it's a deadline set in stone. I will put out the mod when it's ready, meaning that it's at least as stable and polished as the one for Horizon: Zero Dawn. I've made some good progress already, but due to the way I work and the peculiarities of modding, it's only when all the pieces fit together in the final puzzle that I'm able to say whether the result is satisfactory or not :-)

Joe To The Future

lol i too cannot wait although im sure we speak for every patreon here

Timmaye

Super excited for this release as well!

Ángel Moreno Alcalá

Great Luke! Please, first person selection in all third person games!
