MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

You can now fight 60 Star Wars characters in the VR game, Blade & Sorcery
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/you-can-now-fight-60-star-wars-characters-in-the-vr-game-blade-sorcery/
Saint Baron has released a pretty cool mod for the VR game, Blade & Sorcery, allowing you to fight 60 characters from the Star Wars universe. So, thanks to this mod, you can fight in VR Luke Skywalker, Darth Maul, Palpatine, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and more.
Needless to say that we highly recommend downloading it (you can do so from here). On its NexusMods page, you can also find the entire list of characters that are featured in it. Basically, the Star Wars NPC and Avatar Megapack features the most iconic characters from the old and the new era.
In future versions, the modder plans to add blasters (when and if they become available). Additionally, he may add voice lines to make fighting more immersive.

QuestCraft makes Minecraft: Java Edition playable on Quest 2
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/questcraft-makes-minecraft-java-edition-playable-on-quest-2/
Minecraft VR has been available on Oculus headsets since 2016, but Microsoft's official app is based upon the Bedrock edition of Minecraft. The PC-exclusive Java edition of Minecraft, which still has a heavy user-base, has yet to receive any official VR treatment.
Step forward QuestCraft, a newly released mod that enables VR compatibility for Minecraft Java. Announced earlier this week, QuestCraft's reveal was accompanied by a trailer showing the mod in action. You can view the video below, but it enables full head-tracking in Minecraft, and adjusts UI features like menus to be functional in VR, ie, letting you move items around in a pop-up inventory window. It also enables touch controls to a limited degree. You can move your arms around, but it appears that interactions are primarily button-based.

Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod set to launch 'by the end of this week'

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a VR compatibility mod later this week, courtesy of VR modder Luke Ross.
Originally slated for release in January, the mod, known as Cyberpunk 2077 R.E.A.L VR, adds support for VR head-tracking to CD Projekt's open world RPG. It doesn't add VR controller support, however, instead relying on more traditional control schemes.
