Starfield, Bethesda’s 2023 spacefaring RPG, now has a VR mod available to download. Created by a modder called Mutar, this adds full 6DOF head tracking and stereoscopic rendering, though motion controls aren’t yet implemented and movement needs a gamepad.

Previously launched on Quest and Steam, VR space combat sim Rogue Stargun is now available on Pico headsets.

VR mech roguelike UNDERDOGS introduced a new VR camera toolbox for setting up cameras to capture footage in game using LIV’s creator kit.
