With GTA 6 promising a more grounded take on criminal life, there are months of uncovering every detail ahead. It’ll also likely set a new precedent for realism, just like Red Dead Redemption 2 before it. Now, two Cyberpunk 2077 mods are giving Night City a taste of the Rockstar Games treatment, complete with working gas stations and a familiar-looking wanted system.
Both Cyberpunk 2077 mods come from Nexus Mods creator ‘charlotte27k’, who’s found a couple of ways to make CD Projekt Red’s RPG feel more like a GTA-style adventure. First up is a Fuel System mod, which does pretty much what it says on the tin. Every vehicle gets its own fuel tank, with consumption increasing as you put your foot down. Take it easy around the city, and you’ll stretch your range, but floor it on the highway, and you’ll burn through your supply faster. Run dry, and your engine stalls.
Thankfully, you won’t have to abandon your wheels and haul ass across Night City. The mod lets you refuel and repair vehicles at gas station pumps throughout Night City and the Badlands, or buy jerrycans for tight pinches. Prices even vary by district, ranging from 2.5 eddies per litre in City Center to 4.5 in Dogtown. It also brings a fuel gauge, vehicle condition indicator, and map pins to help you find the nearest station.
The second mod is a refresh of the HUD and mini-map, taking inspiration from a different part of the GTA experience. It overhauls Cyberpunk 2077’s interface with a wide, borderless minimap in the bottom-left corner, GPS directions, and a vehicle information card displaying your vehicle model. There’s also a row of wanted stars in the top-right corner, complete with flashing animations when police lose sight of you.
Considering that Cyberpunk 2077 already has thousands of mods available for it, this is just one small facet of tweaking into the experience you want. There’s even a multiplayer mod, if you fancy it. Whether you’re running from the NCPD or pulling into a gas station for a top-up, these mods offer another excuse to revisit Night City. Not that you needed one anyway.
