Cyberpunk 2077 might very well be the best-looking PC title to date, and this short video shows how insanely realistic the game can look.
The two-minute-long video shared by X user @MisterSpace3 shows how CDPR’s hit title can look with full path tracing and a couple of mods. Details on the mods used weren’t shared, but we do know that the video uses the Nova Lut graphics mod to bring lifelike colors to Cyberpunk 2077. The result is impressive, to say the least, and we actually had to look twice to see if we weren’t at real cars for a moment. Check out the video below and judge for yourself:
Here’s what path traced #Cyberpunk2077 with a couple of extra mods and imports can achieve

As expected, you won’t be able to achieve this level of visual fidelity on a low-end setup, but the results are spectacular. If you’re into modding, you might also want give this tiny mod a try, which restores the game’s ‘broken’ path tracing and ray tracing following the 2.1 update.
Cyberpunk 2077 and the Phantom Liberty expansion are available globally now for PC and consoles, albeit Phantom Liberty is only available on the current-gen consoles (aside from PC). Here’s what we wrote about Phantom Liberty in our review:
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty builds upon what was an already great game to deliver more fantastic storytelling (with a spy thriller theme, this time around), exciting combat, and very high-quality side content. The perk tree overhaul is a major improvement to progression, and additions like vehicle combat and the overhauled police system are very welcome, albeit not game-changing. If you’ve been holding out on Cyberpunk 2077 until now, you’ll find a huge game with over 120 hours of quality content and an incredibly immersive game world to literally lose yourself in. On top of that, it’s by far the most beautiful and technically advanced game available if you have the hardware for it (PC and RTX 40 GPU).
