Cyberpunk 2077 might be one of the best-looking games of all time, but one fan has gone above and beyond to make it look even better with the power of mods.
Released in 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 was obviously ahead of the curve when it came to its visuals, with graphics that even rival games releasing in 2026.
But even with that in mind, there are many aspects of the game that fans have sought to improve, graphically speaking, with five years’ worth of hardware upgrades.
That’s certainly what YouTuber Digital Dreams has done, giving the game a modern lick of paint thanks to the power of mods.

Digital Dreams uses over 300 mods to get the game looking as it does, which is frankly gorgeous.
All the lights of Night City seem to pop out, the vehicles look incredible, and I love how each surface looks so realistic, almost like you could reach out and touch it.
Take a look at the video from Digital Dreams' YouTube channel below and see for yourself.

If you’re hoping to get Cyberpunk 2077 looking like this yourself, you may be fresh out of luck. To get the game even up to this level of quality, you’ll need hardware similar to the machine that Digital Dreams is running.
This means having an RTX 5090 graphics card, as well as 64GB of RAM and a Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, which is the highest margin of tech you can get in a modern gaming PC nowadays.
With the current global RAM crisis, and the cost of other PC bits and bobs going up in recent months, it’s an incredibly expensive PC for you to get.
So, if your goal is to get Cyberpunk 2077 looking like how it does in Digital Dreams’ video, you’ll need to fork out for a more expensive machine.
Still, with how gorgeous the base version of Cyberpunk 2077 looks, I can’t help but feel like mods like this are just a bit of fun, and completely overkill if you’re considering using it for a serious playthrough.
Even Digital Dreams admits they don’t make these remaster demonstrations for the purpose of playing them, but rather just features them on their channel for other people to appreciate. So, I wouldn’t worry too much about getting your own game up to snuff with this.
