Cyberpunk 2077 gets a ‘working’ third-person mod

There is now a mod available that allows you to play Cyberpunk 2077 in third person on the PC, but be forewarned, while it works in the most basic and functional sense, it’s not something you’ll want to use for an actual period of time.

The mod, created by Jelle Bakker, can be downloaded here. It allows the player to move the camera backwards Cyberpunk first-person perspective by default, and lets you not only move around, but most of all admire your outfit in third person.

It takes a bit of work to get started, and you need to enter a separate code to … charge your head. Once that’s all done, if you keep your movements slow and steady, it can look pretty good!

If you move faster, or more suddenly, things seem a little less elegant.

It’s cool, because if The Witcher 3 (or Grand Theft Auto, or Assassin’s Creed, or Red Dead) have shown us anything is that we prefer our open world games to be third person so that we can see what we’re wearing and get a better base in our surroundings.

But it is also do not cool in that it doesn’t really work, because so many Cyberpunk, from its combat to its cutscenes to the animation of the player character himself, has been designed from the ground up to be experienced from a first-person perspective, and so this mod is more of a casual thing, and not a completely new way to play the game.

If you want to try it, you can download it here.
