Cyberpunk 2077 transformed into a stunning VHS visual experience using new ReShade preset — so 1980s real you start watching for mullets, another enthusiast benchmarks preset's visuals using an actual VHS recording

A new ReShade preset for Cyberpunk 2077 replicates the VHS tape aesthetic, creating a nostalgic 1980s visual experience with grainy, analog effects. The creator, Redditor Tulired, aimed for a realistic VHS look by incorporating specific visual elements like chroma bleed and color noise. Another enthusiast recorded gameplay on an actual VHS tape to compare the preset's visuals, but found that the modern neon visuals of the game didn't translate well to the authentic VHS recording. ReShade, a post-processing injector for PCs, allows users to enhance visual aspects of games, making it a popular tool for tweaking titles like Cyberpunk 2077.
