- The DreamPunk 2.1 mod makes Cyberpunk 2077’s visuals almost life-like.
- The mod improves lighting, colors, and overall realism in Night City.
- Running the mod requires powerful hardware, like an RTX 4090, to achieve optimal performance.
Cyberpunk 2077 keeps evolving, thanks in part to the modding community and the new DreamPunk 2.1 mod. A recent video showed the game running in 8K resolution with path tracing, making it look almost real.
Created by NextGen Dreams, the video shows how Cyberpunk 2077 can push the limits of video game graphics, especially when using the right photo-realistic mods like Dreampunk 2.1.
Why it matters: As official updates for the game slow down, mods like DreamPunk 2.1 keep Cyberpunk 2077 at the forefront of gaming visuals.
The DreamPunk 2.1 mod takes Night City’s visuals to the next level by improving indirect lighting, light diffusion, and color balance. Path tracing is important in achieving this realistic look.
The difference is extremely noticeable in details like vehicles, buildings, and plants, with some scenes resembling moments from a high-budget movie. The mod’s lifelike quality is also boosted by weather effects, where overcast skies create soft shadows, making the lighting feel even more natural.
What makes this mod fascinating is that it doesn’t just focus on daytime scenes. It also features nighttime and clear sky situations, showing that the DreamPunk 2.1 mod can manage different lighting conditions.
Running this mod requires powerful hardware, though. With the RTX 4090, Cyberpunk 2077 using the DreamPunk 2.1 mod runs smoothly at 60 frames per second in 8K, thanks to the Frame Generation technology. While this is exciting for PC fans, only users with high-end systems can fully enjoy this mind-blowing mod.
Players who can’t access DreamPunk 2.1 can still improve their experience with free mods like the HD Reworked Project. However, it doesn’t reach the same level of realism.
With every passing day, video games are reaching a new level of photo-realistic graphics. Cyberpunk 2077 sequel is reportedly targeting photo-realistic graphics, so this mod can be a good reference point for CDPR.
