  Hope you weren't planning on a new console or upgrades any time soon.

  CD Projekt Red Shuts Down Cyberpunk Mod that Allowed Players to Have Sex with Keanu Reeves

  Gonna have to get your kicks elsewhere.
  
  A mod that was up on Nexus Mods allowed Cyberpunk 2077 players to have awkward sex with Keanu Reeves was shut down by CD Projekt Red. Essentially, this mod was a character swap that placed Johnny Silverhand as one of the game's sex workers. It apparently wasn't all that great of a swap because Johnny never takes off his clothes and the lines are those of the game's Joytoy that he replaces, but alas... people were still probably really into it....

  Official Mod Tools Rolled Out for Cyberpunk 2077

  Going the Bethesda route.
  
  Though a few Cyberpunk 2077 mods have already popped up since its December release, these were done prior to there being any sort of official mod support for the game. Today, CD Projekt Red finally rolled out the start of their official mod support, which will hopefully allow modders to fix the game in ways that CD Projekt will not.
  
  These official modding tools are in their infancy and seem rather limited in their scope. They are certainly not...
