Cyberpunk 2077 VHS mod transforms Night City into retro camcorder dream

by

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.

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.
