00:00 Keanu Reeves looks more like Keanu Reeves now thanks to Cyberpunk 2077's latest update.

00:05 Alright, here's something I barely clocked after 30 hours with Phantom Liberty and now

00:10 can't unsee.

00:11 They gave Johnny Silverhand a goddang reverse facelift.

00:14 Digital Keanu Reeves is just that much more crowdy and aged now, looking less like a Keanu

00:19 Reeves mannequin and more like the man himself.

00:21 I thought I detected something a little more wolfish in my brain boy companion as I made

00:25 my way through Phantom Liberty, but the difference really pops in those rare scenes where Johnny

00:29 takes off those big ol' aviator glasses of his, especially in a side by side comparison

00:34 like this one from Sinpotato on Twitter.

00:37 Doesn't pre 2.0 Johnny look a little smooth?

00:39 PC Gamer Hardware Editor George Jimenez suggested the OG model looks like a really good RPG

00:45 character creator dupe of Keanu and that's going to haunt me.

00:48 To my eye, it looks mostly like the texture work around Johnny's eyes has been touched

00:52 up.

00:53 He kind of got the reverse of what most beauticians are going for with dark circles under his

00:57 eyes and a more furrowed brow.

00:59 Johnny Silverhand forgot to do his makeup and looks 10 years older, but you know what?

01:03 I think he's still beautiful, lest you think it's just one unflattering shot.

01:07 Here's the same scene in different lighting from a 2077 longplay by YouTuber Lachry.

01:12 That's definitely smooth Johnny in the older version of Cyberpunk they're playing.

01:16 In certain lighting, smooth Keanu stands out a bit better to scrutiny, but still, I think

01:20 all in all this is a welcome change.

01:22 Check out new Johnny in the header image above versus another screencap of smooth Johnny

01:26 taken from that longplay.

01:27 Both are from the same scene, though admittedly YouTube compression isn't doing smooth Johnny

01:32 any favors.

01:33 Still, you could definitely see the added detail.

01:35 I have one more, crucial unanswered question though, did they change Silverhand's terrible

01:40 uncanny valley armpit hair too?

01:42 Something about the way it was rendered was not right.

01:44 I don't mean to body shame, but Johnny my man, keep those wings damn brother.

01:48 I have about 5 to 10 hours of gameplay in my new Cyberpunk save to reach a guaranteed

01:53 pits out moment though, so my query remains unresolved at this time.

01:56 Publishers preparing for the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0 today have a lot to look forward

02:02 to, but it seems the community's already impressed with the glow up from a certain

02:06 Johnny Silverhand's as played by Keanu Reeves.

02:08 The footage of the new model comes from the publisher provided video material to accompany

02:12 the recent Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty reviews showing off graphical improvements

02:17 including ray reconstruction set to come as part of update 2.0.

02:22 Further improving the overdrive feature added from the patch a few months back.

02:25 For real, I was shocked at how much better character models looked in their preview video

02:29 of RT Overdrive, said Eyeswold88.

02:32 Many agreed, although they're a little disappointed this glow up is mainly restricted to those

02:36 on PC with certain graphics cards.

02:39 It's so crazy.

02:40 Eyeswold88 would go on to say, "It's just too bad it's only available to the select

02:44 few who owned a 4080 or 9080.

02:46 However, there's hope that most players will still get to enjoy some level of improvement,

02:50 even if not to the same degree.

02:52 Almost any RTX 40 card can do it to some extent," reveals Heartbroken_Nerd.

02:57 Even the desktop RTX 4060 just temper your expectations.

03:02 At 1920x1080 target output, with DLSS quality or balance and frame generation and ray reconstruction

03:10 you could have 60 halves or so, with a variable refresh rate screen that could be very pleasant

03:14 to play, actually.

03:15 We'll have to wait until the Cyberpunk 2077 update to release time to experience the full

03:21 extent of the changes, but if what we've seen so far is anything to go on, it seems

03:25 Cyberpunk 2077 will be looking better than ever once the update arrives.

03:30 Better get your system ready then.
