So I stumbled across this recently and as a huge PSO fan it blew my mind to experience it. A user named Kaze is remaking PSO in VR.
Right now it exists only as a "world" in VRChat but there are plans to produce a standalone VR version as well once that's completed. Functional at the moment are Pioneer 2 and Forest 1, including combat with enemies and various weapon pick ups. You can use hunter weapons and ranger weapons but no magic yet. I really like how Kaze handled the "parry" mechanic. It feels great.
Here's a video of what it's like to actually play. Although, if you know anything about VR, the "cool" factor and feeling of presence can't be accurately represented in a 2D video.
Version 2.0 should be coming in the new year and will add Forest 2 as well as "persistence", so that you can have an inventory that will remain consistent each time you visit the world. After Kaze has finished the VRChat version, they will begin work on a standalone version.
