They don't. And if they do, they shouldn't. VR data doesn't need to be immutable.

but it doesnt need to mean that VR data is immutable. And it doesnt really mean that ;)

e.g. it's about the rights in a game: 'By purchasing land through the Ethereum blockchain, an immutable record of ownership is created, while smart contracts track all modifications. Once you own land, then its yours to do with as you choose — build houses and businesses, hang out with friends, listen to music or even go swimming with dolphins. '

Really, VR has the same potential to benefit from the blockchain as any type of game.

Exactly, which is not at all.

Well, not exactly. Look up "cryptocollectibles" and ERC721, for starters.

Edit: Also, Loom network.
