Rockstar GamesA tech-focused streamer just did what no one thought possible: He put himself inside Red Dead Redemption 2 and somehow, it only took him three days.
‘Blurbs’ is a variety Twitch streamer and YouTuber known for turning wild ideas into working tech. Over the past six years, he recreated the Xbox 360 dashboard with Twitch chat support, built a mod where viewers voice NPCs in Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2, and made custom tools for other creators.
His most viral project let his Twitch chat control every voice in RDR2 using a full backend system and custom audio engine. He called it his ‘magnum opus,’ and fans agreed. That mod caught fire online in late 2024 and set a high bar for what’s possible with modding.
But Blurbs just raised that bar again.
Twitch modder pushes modding tech to unbelievable new level in 3 days
In his latest stream, titled ‘I modded my body into RDR2,’ he appeared to place himself directly into the game.
At one point, he walked up to an NPC at the saloon and shoved him. The NPC stumbled and responded, just like a real interaction. Then, as he stood behind the bar counter, Blurbs showed us 180 degrees behind him.
It was clear he wasn’t just roleplaying. He was in there. No headset, no gloves, no traditional VR tech at all. Just him, inside Red Dead Redemption 2.
In an exclusive interview with Dexerto, Blurbs explained the magic is all in the tech: “It’s two cell phones rubber-banded together, a custom RDR2 mod, a custom Unity app, OBS, background removal tech, visual filters, and a selfie stick,” he told us.
The whole thing came together in just three days. Blurbs was prepping a different RDR2 video when he got sidetracked by a wild idea: what if he could actually drop himself into the game?
And as much as we love Red Dead Redemption 2, we couldn’t help but wonder if we could mod ourselves into any game. On that note, he told us, “Theoretically, it can be done in any game that has modding access to the camera.”
He said he “should be making stuff that’s easy to understand,” but curiosity always pulls him into experimental rabbit holes. Not every project goes viral, but that’s never been the goal. As he put it, “I keep doing it just in case I strike gold.”
This is already pushing the limits of what streaming and modding can be. From chat-voiced towns to walking inside Red Dead, Blurbs keeps bending games to his will and making it fun to watch.
