A modder has ported Linux to the PS5 and showcases GTA 5 Enhanced Edition running at about 60 FPS with ray tracing. The setup reportedly delivers 4K HDMI output, working audio, and full USB functionality, with the CPU at 3.2 GHz and GPU at 2.0 GHz (potential boosts discussed). However, it only works on older PS5 firmware via a full-chain exploit, and higher clock speeds risk overheating on a PS5 Slim.

It adds roughly 7,000 lines of new voiced dialogue, 60+ new mechanics, weapons, and enemies, and revamps maps, textures, lighting, and weather. With rebuilt environments and lore-friendly expansions, it demands a beefier PC (roughly 12–16 GB RAM) and is pitched as the biggest expansion before any potential Fallout 3 remaster.

Luke Ross, the creator behind Cyberpunk 2077 VR mods, has taken down his VR mods from Patreon after a new DMCA strike by 505 Games. He says he will disable all versions and related posts, and that new subscriptions will only support him with no access to the mods, citing the DMCA process as powerful for large companies and noting a prior DMCA from CD Projekt Red as well.
Cyberpunk 2077's R.E.A.L VR mod creator Luke Ross says pirates are punishing him after CD Projekt Red's DMCA takedown, with the paywalled mod seeing widespread illegal sharing. He argues making a Cyberpunk 2077-specific version would be technically difficult due to support for 40+ engines, and notes that CDPR's fan guidelines allow donations but forbid paywalls. The NDA Ross received was tied to the Patreon setup rather than the mod itself, but piracy spreading the mod online underscores tensions between modders and big studios.
A Hytale modder demonstrates Minecraft running inside Hytale’s world map using pure CPU-based pixel data manipulation (no GPU/OpenGL), rendering a 320×240, ~35 FPS build server-side.

A paywalled Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod by Luke Ross (R.E.A.L. VR) drew a DMCA takedown from CD Projekt Red. Ross doubled down by releasing a VR mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 using the same paywall approach and criticized what he calls publishers’ 'corporate logic' that favors monetization of developers’ work while demanding free contributions from modders, prompting backlash from the community and a broader debate on paid mods.
Hytale is launching through its own Hypixel launcher rather than Steam, to foster closer community feedback and avoid potentially negative first impressions; a Steam release isn’t ruled out but isn’t required, since Valve’s platform may not yet support all of Hytale’s modding features, and console release is planned for the future.
