Even 16K (effectively 8K for each eye) would make sense in VR (when VR headsets have high enough resolution) because the screen is so close to the viewer and any pixellation creates a stage door effect.

VR Bangers are already releasing 6K VR porn (so really 3K). I don't know if they are actually filming in 8K and then releasing it in 6K for bandwidth, file size reasons, and that no headsets currently have better resolution than 6K (2 x 3K).
