Cyberpunk 2077 third-person mode is top of your wish list
CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 has undergone plenty of change recently, let alone since launch. The sci-fi shooter was once the story of a failure so catastrophic, Sony had to step in to peel the game from their online store.
If you now ask any Cyberpunk fan, they'll tell you that the neo-futuristic RPG is among the best of all time. The turn-around has been like that of No Man's Sky, transforming a broken disappointment into a marker of just how vast games can become with some love and attention.
That doesn't mean that Cyberpunk 2077 isn't free of a wish list, though - and fans know exactly what they want the first new addition to the game to be.
Cyberpunk fans are still calling for a third-person mode
As will come as no surprise to anyone who has played Cyberpunk 2077, the strong first-person perspective has done wonders for the immersion of Night City, but that doesn't mean that players aren't hoping they can eventually see the game from over the shoulder.
A new Reddit post has caused plenty of buzz, suggesting that players' "only wish" for the title is a Cyberpunk 2077 third-person mode that allows players to see the game from over their character's shoulder - and it seems that commenters agree.
"That's why I only ride motorcycles in this game so I can see my character," says one user. "See what I liked about Fallout 4 is that whenever you spoke it showed your character," adds another. "I know people hated the voiced character but I loved seeing my own armour."
It's a shame that there's no vanilla option for the mode - but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
There are huge amounts of third-person mods for Cyberpunk

With legions of you being drawn back into the game thanks to the Phantom Liberty DLC, there's no better time.
While Cyberpunk's first-person perspective allows us to get up close and personal with the residents of Night City, it's disappointing there still isn't a third-person option. If you're desperate to escape the clutches of Cyberpunk's first-person view, your opportunity is there - you're just going to have to go looking for it.
