The core game’s combat, crafting and building systems are reworked for VR. Steam lists VR support and SteamVR collectibles, as well as Family Sharing. The game is also described as a first-person shooter and post-apocalyptic title, while its Steam genre listing is RPG. Bethesda Softworks publishes the game, which released in December 2017.
