Fans want to know if a Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 third-person feature has been added with the new update alongside Phantom Liberty. Many players have been asking for a 3rd-person camera or perspective for the game since launch, if just to make it possible to view your character’s outfit as V sprints and climbs throughout Night City. This would put the game alongside other modern third-person open-world games like the Grand Theft Auto series. Here’s whether a third-person camera has been added to Cyberpunk 2077 with the 2.0 update.
Has a Cyberpunk 2077 third-person camera been added with the 2.0 update?
No, unfortunately a third-person camera has not been added with neither the 2.0 update nor the Phantom Liberty expansion.
While this is certainly disappointing given that this would not seem to be a difficult feature to add, there is a possibility that mods will be able to include a third-person perspective. At the moment, the best chance is a mod called “JB – TPP MOD WIP THIRD PERSON” that’s available on Nexus Mods. As the name suggests, this mod adds a third-person view from the back of the character.
However, at the time of writing, the mod has not been updated yet to be compatible with the 2.0 update. This is because it requires another mod called Cyber Engine Tweaks that hasn’t ben update to 2.0 either. Until that happens, players won’t be able to use the mod with Phantom Liberty, but you can check back on the site regularly to see if any progress has been made on that front.
The author of the third-person camera mod recommends that you download additional mods as well, like the Clipping Gray Mesh Remover. It also has several known issues with animations and wide shoulders. This suggests that adding an official third-person perspective would require the developers to create animations and models to make it work smoothly.
