Cyberpunk 2077 mod turns Night City into The Matrix

Cyberpunk 2077 mod Matrix Reshade transforms Night City into the Wachowski’s digital fantasy world, combining the sci-fi genre’s best and buggiest

Cyberpunk 2077 and The Matrix seem like the perfect partnership, but it's only now, thanks to the release of a brand new mod, that the two sci-fi giants have finally glitched together.

motorcycles flying through the air, or people on park benches randomly standing up, and T-posing and spinning around, the machine's subterfuge would be unlikely to last five minutes. But Keanu Reeves is in there, and he's bound to feel much more at home in the dull-green, DOS-interface world that made him (even more) famous.

The mod's available for free and it's very easy to install. Just the free game reshade tool Rexiii has added to the file notes, then drop the mod files into Cyberpunk's game folder. You can adjust the strength of the Matrix filter from slightly tinged to full-blown Reloaded freeway chase, and there's an option to toggle it off and on on the fly.

Rexiii has also ed some handy comparison images, so you can see what you're getting before fully jacking in. Once you've got it installed, we challenge you to walk into bruiser build by announcing "I know kung fu".

We're still waiting on a really great Matrix game – and no, 2003's Enter the Matrix does not count. Until then, Cyberpunk, in these loving Wachowski tones, will do just fine.
