There's also 'Source Code' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0945513/

Not fully virtual, though. Just the badly maimed torso and head of a victim of a terrorist attack on a train, brain wired to systems, stimulating the last working remains to replay the last 8 minutes over and over again. To gather information and reconstruct 'whodunnit'.

Bobiverse came so often into my peripheral vision, yet I haven't found the time to dive in, so far.

It's more an engineer finds himself installed into a self replicating interstellar probe, and how he overcomes problems with an engineers mindset.

Most of what I remember from source code, the film, is the cringe worthy Bing product placement.

There's a lot of products placement that nowadays are obsolete, but the story is still good.
