A popular new mod for Cyberpunk 2077 makes the game look like an old VHS recording, giving Night City a retro, grainy aesthetic.
I recently discovered this amazing mod called VHS Reshade by Tulired/TapePunk, and it totally transforms the game to look like an old camcorder recording! It’s seriously impressive – it nails that late 80s and 90s found footage vibe perfectly. It’s like you’re actually watching a tape!
You can download it for free on Nexus Mods. The creator spent months researching old VHS technology and collecting feedback before releasing the updated version.
Cyberpunk 2077 mod gives Night City a VHS makeover
Instead of simply applying a standard filter, this modification accurately simulates the unique characteristics of older analog video, like screen warping and the lines that appear during scanning.
The creator of a new mod announced its release on Reddit, explaining they finally felt confident enough to share an update to their project, TapePunk. They shared that they dedicated a lot of time to researching VHS tapes and camcorders to ensure the mod’s visuals felt genuinely realistic.
This collection is built around a ‘found footage’ style, and the creator plans to add more options later on if it proves popular.
How to install the mod
