📋 About This Mod
Hey you!
Yes, you.
Have you been drooling over some of the custom reshade presets YouTubers are using, wishing you could get that same look without crawling through links, opting in to random subscriptions, and installing Reshade? Do you hate going to a YouTube video with a vague clickbait title wondering what the hell their modlist is only to be greeted with a "custom reshade" promotion?! Well, look no further!
With Edge LUT, we're getting super edgy! No longer will Cyberpunk present itself in realistic colors and maximum dynamic range - no no! Now, we absolutely destroy that range by throwing caution to the wind while raising that gamma and gain, slapping on a healthy coat of always-super-heavy-cloudy weather to make sure the sky is one big softbox, and making sure Cyberpunk looks like we're watching real life footage that was captured on our phones!
The best part? No reshade. No subscriptions. No more guesswork.
Info:
Edge LUT is not a Reshade preset; it's just a LUT. Edge LUT is based on Nova LUT and has been modified with curves to raise gamma and gain while adding additional warmth. The option Weather download provides an always-cloudy ENV, overriding most other weather states.
Disclaimer:
Edge LUT is heavily sarcastic and heavily reliant on cloudy weather. It is provided as-is. Your milage may vary.
Supports SDR and HDR.
I do not believe all YouTubers make a habit of putting their reshades and modlists behind paywalls; this mod exists only to poke fun at the ones who do. To all of the content creators out there that openly disclose their mods and share their Reshade presets either through direct download or on Nexus, thank you for being part of the community.
TL;DR (for those that can't make it to the bottom section):
The ENV version is NOT compatible with other lighting and weather mods. Any of them.
The LUT IS COMPATIBLE.
Installation:
Use Vortex (recommended) or manually install by just dragging and dropping the contents of the zip to the Cyberpunk 2077 root folder.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (3,481 endorsements) and massive download count (345k+) — this is a proven mod
- Gives you that YouTuber-grade color grading without the Reshade performance hit or setup hassle
- Lightweight LUT-based approach means no extra software or config files to fiddle with
⚠️ Cons
- LUTs are static — they won't adapt to different lighting conditions like a full Reshade preset might
- Last updated in December 2024 — check if it's compatible with the latest game patches
For players who want that polished, high-contrast look they see in YouTube videos but don't want to pay for premium Reshade presets or deal with Reshade's complexity. If you're a screenshot enthusiast or just want a quick visual upgrade, this is for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla colors or need dynamic adjustments.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a LUT mod, you'll likely need to place the files in the game's root or a specific folder — check the mod's comments for player-shared install paths
- If you're using a mod manager, try installing it through that first; if not, manual placement is usually just a drag-and-drop
- Test it in different lighting conditions (day/night) to see if the HDR effect suits your taste — you can always remove it if it's too strong
