I should also note that CD Projekt Red isn’t done improving the PS5/Xbox Series X versions of the game. They can only theoretically get better from here, though I suspect most future improvements will focus on bug fixes and optimizations rather than any kind of sweeping updates that make the game look like it was developed for next-gen hardware right from the start. Is the PC Version of Cyberpunk 2077 Still the Best Version of the Game? Then, travel to this location in Santo Domingo, a gas station with a homeless encampment.

To get to this location, start from the Batty's Hotel fast travel point in Pacifica (it's located right near the Chapel fast travel point on its western side). It is worth thinking here about the decisions behind a major patch like this, which focuses almost entirely on the technical and gameplay sides of the game. There’s been no attempt to soften or explore the cyberpunk genre’s deployment of techno-orientalism in its treatment of Asian culture and characters, which is a huge missed opportunity in a game that spends so much time ruminating on the mistakes of the past, and how one might repair them. A transphobic ad is still plastered across nearly every surface in the game, monopolizing vision in a way that does not even line up with real-world advertising practices. With this game’s long tail of updates, there are seemingly infinite chances to go deeper, to rethink some assumptions, and to engage with the genre at least as fully as its founding texts did. Yet none of these things were deemed patch-worthy. It is more substantive, apparently, to make sure there are new apartments and cars and guns. Finally got round to play Cyberpunk and the launcher from GoG.com is terrible. took me 2 days to get the game to launch with the launcher. The difference comes down to “floor and ceiling” performances. The PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 was by far the best version of the game at launch, so it also required the fewest significant performance upgrades/fixes (relatively speaking). In other words, CD Projekt Red was instead able to focus on optimizing the PC version of the game sooner than they were able to focus on optimizing the console versions of the game.Obviously, these changes are purely visual and won’t squeeze out any additional frames, impact load times, or anything like that. Still, the impact properly set HDR settings can have on a game like this is very striking. Take your time messing around and watching how the demo image changes to find the look you enjoy most. Look, I’m one of those weird people that actually kind of liked Cyberpunk 2077 when it was released. The game ran well on my PC, and I found it to be a slightly more ambitious take on a modern Deus Ex title that happened to be filled with tremendous little moments and enough RPG elements to speak to the genre nerd in me. I voted for the game to be included in our best of 2020 list, and I think the game deserved its spot on that list from a creative standpoint. There are things in Cyberpunk 2077 that are very much worth experiencing.

This is more of a stylistic choice than one that impacts performance, so if you dislike the effect you can certainly turn it off. What it does is create those rainbow-looking lighting effects on light sources. Since Night City is full of bright neon signs, and the cyberpunk genre is somewhat known for this visual style, we think it lends to the visuals rather than take anything away. Believe it or not, CD Projekt Red did finally release Cyberpunk 2077’s next-gen upgrade earlier this year. While that update should have been released much sooner than it actually was, I have to say that it did drastically improve the next-gen versions of the game.
