This much-vaunted game finally arrives in mid-November, it looks stunning, and the noise from those who\u2019ve had a chance to experience it hands-on has been almost universally positive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t been paying attention, you could be forgiven for being overwhelmed by the amount of content that\u2019s flying around in the build-up. Let\u2019s cut through all of that and establish how we got here, why this is such a big deal, and where Cyberpunk fits into our guide to the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> best PCs for any given budget<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why is Cyberpunk so hyped?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rarely is a game so eagerly anticipated as Cyberpunk 2077. But then rarely is a video-game company so beloved as CD Projekt RED. The original Witcher, launched back in 2007, was an unlikely cult hit. With its use of the creaking Aurora engine and dark, morally ambiguous fantasy work, it sold more than a million copies and endeared gamers to a company that explicitly steered clear of DRM, in-game purchases and other anti-consumer practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When The Witcher 3 landed in 2015, the company went from being an obscure Polish outfit to a globe-conquering titan. So, when they say they\u2019re going to bring us something amazing, we pay attention. It\u2019s a testament to the trust that the company has generated that the company\u2019s Good Old Games store page is emblazoned with the words \u2018100% of your money goes to CD Projekt Group\u2019. Few other companies could use this as an actual selling point without being laughed at.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The original <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyberpunk trailer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> actually ar<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rived back in January 2013, and was more of a concept teaser than anything solid. It promised that the game would come \u2018when it\u2019s ready\u2019. Seven years later, it\u2019s finally going to arrive, having been delayed twice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-860 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Train-shot-of-Cyberpunk-2077-.jpg\" alt=\"Train Scene shot of V in Cyberpunk 2077 \" width=\"976\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Train-shot-of-Cyberpunk-2077-.jpg 976w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Train-shot-of-Cyberpunk-2077--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Train-shot-of-Cyberpunk-2077--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Train-shot-of-Cyberpunk-2077--460x260.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 976px) 100vw, 976px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How l<\/span>ong will Cyberpunk<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 20px;\">\u00a02077 be?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Witcher 3 was a very, very long game \u2013 too long, in the opinion of CD Projekt. Despite the commercial success of the game, only a minority of gamers actually made it all the way through to the very end \u2013 which is a shame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid this problem this time around, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/cyberpunk-2077-campaign-will-be-shorter-than-the-witcher-3s-because-a-lot-of-people-didnt-finish-it\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the company has decided to keep things a little more succinct<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So, if it takes around 50 hours to get through the main story in The Witcher 3, then we might expect Cyberpunk to weigh in at anything from 30 to 40. However, there\u2019s a complicating factor here in the form of side quests and replayability, which might effectively make numbers like these meaningless.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Cyberpunk 2077?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyberpunk 2077 is based on the same world as the tabletop game, Cyberpunk, created by Mike Pondsmith back in the 1980s. To distinguish it from the broader genre, the game is generally referred to by the name of its second edition, Cyberpunk 2020 (which couldn\u2019t be more appropriate). Pondsmith has collaborated very closely with the developer, so we can be fairly sure the game will be faithful to his creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Details of the plot of Cyberpunk 2077 are sketchy, and most gamers prefer to avoid learning the details of the opening act \u2013 although the CGI trailer that unveiled Keanu Reeves\u2019s involvement provided some story details. You play the role of V (whose gender you can choose at the outset).<\/span> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-859 size-full\" style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/cyberpunk-2077-keanu-reeves.jpg\" alt=\"Keanu Reeves character in Cyberpunk 2077\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/cyberpunk-2077-keanu-reeves.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/cyberpunk-2077-keanu-reeves-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/cyberpunk-2077-keanu-reeves-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/cyberpunk-2077-keanu-reeves-460x260.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three different background stories to play through, which presumably provide some replayability. That the branching happens right at the start is an advantage, because it means that you won\u2019t need to play through the same hour or so at the start of the game before you get to the branched-out stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Type of Game is Cyberpunk?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyberpunk is, by all accounts, a new breed of game. It\u2019s an RPG, first and foremost, with progression built around the post-humanist augmentation element. You can choose your gender and background like in Mass Effect. It puts players in a first-person perspective (a decision which prompted a few raised eyebrows among fans of the Witcher series), and it involves shooting, but it isn\u2019t a shooter in the strictest sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll see Borderlands-style numbers flying off adversaries when you land a shot. So, it\u2019s a bit like Deus Ex, then? No, it\u2019s not \u2013 it\u2019s open world, and incredibly brash and colourful. Punky, you might say. Comparisons have been drawn with Grand Theft Auto V.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that the game involves driving, shooting, and crime, in an urban setting, this seems reasonable \u2013 but there\u2019s clearly quite a lot of daylight between the two titles. Regardless, if Cyberpunk even comes close to GTA\u2019s commercial success, then CD Projekt\u2019s shareholders are going to be very happy indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given all of this, we can\u2019t simply refer to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our guide to which PCs suit which game<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when we\u2019re making performance recommendations \u2013 although some of the general rules we\u2019ve established will surely apply. The way that assets are streamed as you make your way around the city will surely make a significant difference, and a few choice upgrades might provide significant bang for your buck.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What systems will Cyberpunk 2077 be on?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is Cyberpunk 2077 cross-platform? The answer appears to be yes. You\u2019ll be able to pick up Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox One, PS4, PC and Google\u2019s Stadia. Consequently, you\u2019ll also be able to play it on the next-gen systems (and if you own a copy for a current-gen system, you\u2019ll also own a copy of the next-gen one, should you decide to upgrade later.) But if you\u2019re the proud owner of a Switch or a Mac, you\u2019re out of luck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re probably biased, but we\u2019re going to say you\u2019ll need a high-end PC to get the best from the game (despite the company\u2019s implausibly optimistic recommended specs). An RTX-compatible card will ensure you\u2019re able to take advantage of a quartet of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/en-gb\/geforce\/news\/cyberpunk-2077-ray-tracing-dlss-geforce-now-screenshots-trailer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">game-changing ray-traced effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll look at the PC-specific technical stuff in greater detail before the game lands; in the meantime, you can check out our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cyberpunk-ready gaming systems<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-856 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberpowergaming.co.uk\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Cyberpunk-2077-PC-by-Cybepower-UK-.gif\" alt=\"Ad featurring Cyberpunk 2077 Character V and Cyberpower UK's Cyberpunk 2077 Custom Built PC \" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most-hyped video games of all time.
