'Cyberpunk 2077' VR Mod Taken Down Following Legal Complaint, But There May Still Be Hope

Road to VR • January 19, 2026 • technology

Key Points:

Luke Ross, known for creating VR mods, has removed his popular Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod following a DMCA takedown notice from CD Projekt, who objected to the mod being placed behind a Patreon paywall.
CD Projekt’s fan content guidelines prohibit commercial usage of their games’ content, allowing only reasonable donations but not paywalled or paid access, which Ross’s Patreon model violated.
Ross expressed frustration over the corporate stance that modders must provide content for free, despite companies prioritizing profit, though he acknowledged CD Projekt’s relatively open communication compared to other publishers.
Flat2VR Studios has proposed creating an officially sanctioned Cyberpunk 2077 VR version, but there are concerns about potential community backlash
