- Console players do not have access to these modding tools.
Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City is breathtaking in scale and detail, but some players wish they could step outside of V’s eyes to take it all in. While the game was designed as a first-person RPG, PC players can finally enjoy a third-person experience thanks to the popular JB – TPP mod. Although developer CD Projekt Red has confirmed that an official third-person mode isn’t planned, this community-driven solution fills the gap—if you’re willing to mod.
No Official Third-Person Mode Coming
Since its release in 2020, players have consistently requested a third-person mode for Cyberpunk 2077. While CD Projekt Red has continued to update and refine the game post-launch, they’ve made it clear: an official third-person camera isn’t in the cards. This leaves console players out of luck, but PC users can still transform their gameplay experience with the JB – Third Person Perspective mod.

Installing the JB – TPP Mod on PC
To install the third-person camera in Cyberpunk 2077, players need two core files:
- Cyber Engine Tweaks
- JB – TPP Mod
Start by downloading Cyber Engine Tweaks from Nexus Mods. Extract the contents of its bin folder into the root directory of your Cyberpunk 2077 installation. For most users on Steam, the path will be:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cyberpunk2077
Next, download the JB – TPP mod and drop the unzipped contents into the same Cyberpunk 2077 root folder.
Configuring Third-Person Controls
After launching the game, press your assigned hotkey to open the Cyber Engine Tweaks overlay. From there:
- Bind a key to toggle third-person mode
- Configure optional camera controls like 360° rotation, zoom, and position
Use the “Inputs” section in the Cyber Engine Tweaks interface to map these functions for smooth third-person operation.
Conclusion: Experience Night City from a New Perspective
While console users remain restricted to first-person mode, PC players can now enjoy a fully controllable third-person perspective in Cyberpunk 2077. Thanks to the modding community, it’s easier than ever to experience V’s journey from an entirely new viewpoint.
