Cyberpunk 2077 looks damn near photorealistic in this stunning PC remaster, if your PC can pull it off of course.
The wonders of PC gaming never cease to amaze which is probably why Xbox is embracing it for Project Helix, a PC and console hybrid.
Aside from the hundreds of games you can only play on PC, the platform also puts the power of mods into your hands, which is why we have to draw your attention to this stunning reimagining of Cyberpunk 2077.
In a new YouTube video by Digital Dreams something truly remarkable has been cooked up for Cyberpunk fans.
Cyberpunk 2077 always looked good even on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 but PC takes it to an entirely different level.

This stunning photorealistic gameplay is basically how we all see Night City in our heads and dare we say the game has never looked better than this.
Running at crisp 150fps with 4K resolution this footage of Cyberpunk 2077 was captured with an RTX 5090, with BeyondallLimits 3.3.
What gamers will likely find most striking about the visuals is undoubtedly the reflections. Night City is a fluorescent metropolis of neon signs so when it’s been raining it all lights up in a very pleasing way, especially come nightfall.
It looks very realistic and one shot that stands out amongst all others is one where the player’s character is running across a bridge towards the city.
The light from the buildings beams onto the road and it just looks breathtaking. Non-gamers would probably mistake it for real life.
Footage captured during the day isn’t as impressive but still looks really good. Sunlight bouncing off cars is a treat for the eyes and the greater detail being pulled out of the textures makes us want to explore the game’s map all over again.
What’s most impressive though is the lack of frame dips when moving. With videos like this you’ll often notice the player’s character slowly meandering about and while you’d probably rhino they’re just taking in the sights it’s usually to hide performance problems.
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt looks like an entirely different game with overhauled graphics but if you give it a go for yourself it’s probably not one you’ll want to play.
This Cyberpunk 2077 remaster doesn’t seem to be the case though, we’re eager to give this one a go ourselves.
If you want to give this a try for yourself you can, as the specs of the PC used can be found in the video’s description.
However if you’re missing even half of what’s used you’re going to be paying an arm and a leg to get similar levels of performance, which isn’t ideal given the ongoing RAM and SSD shortages inflating prices.
That said if you’ve got everything you need already you’re good to go,.
