Cyberpunk 2077 Mod turns the game into super hot

A Cyberpunk 2077 mod changes the game to indie favorite Superhot, with time only moving when the player moves.

Nexus Mods user jackexe has shared the Cyberpunk Super Hot Mode mod, which adds a new element to the beloved sci-fi first-person role-playing game.

“When you move, time moves. How fast you move determines how fast time moves,” the description reads. “You can use the Cyberpunk engine tweaks to bind the controls to turn this mode on and off.”

Longtime fans looking for a new way to play Cyberpunk 2077 – on the one-year anniversary of the one and only expansion Phantom Liberty – might find some entertainment here. Switching the mode on and off for certain fights seems to add a new intensity to the game and allow players to perform some particularly dramatic takedowns.

In fact, the gameplay change somewhat recreates a piece of cyberware available to players in Cyberpunk 2077: the Sandevistan. While this does appear in the game, it isn’t available in the same flashy way as in the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime, where protagonist David Martinez manipulated time to dodge bullets and take out bad guys.

This mod is based on Superhot, a puzzle game in which the mechanic of stopping time when the player stops was debuted. “Each level in Superhot is an exciting, self-contained, time-consuming puzzle that turns the typical fast-paced first-person shooter mechanics on their head,” IGN said in our review.
