Yes, you read the headline correct, because Introversion Software has just brought their war room strategy game “Defcon” into the world of virtual reality:

“Introversion joins the VR party! After Prison Architect, our most successful game is DEFCON – a nuclear war strategy game inspired by the 80s movie War games (If you’ve not seen it, do yourself a favour and check it out over the weekend). DEFCON VR allows you to spectate DEFCON games in the comfort of your own virtual War Room. Join others and marvel at total global annihilation as nuclear missiles arc over the globe on their path to destruction.

We’re giving away a prototype on steam, but if there’s enough interest we may decide to carry on and build a fully playable version of DEFCON in VR” – Introversion Software

So if you like the idea of playing a VR version of Defcon, then you could download and enjoy “Defcon VR” for free! (you can download the game via Steam).
