With the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion Phantom Liberty set to arrive on September 26, CD Projekt is making some changes to the game's system requirements "to ensure that players have a better understanding of what will be needed" to run the game at an acceptable level of performance. The changes also reflect the evolution of PC gaming hardware in the three years since the original game's release, including support for new GPU hardware that wasn't available back then.
"The changes to the minimum requirements are a reflection of our new standard of requirements, which we believe better represent the minimum PC configuration required to run the game at 1080p, while maintaining an average of 30 FPS at low preset," CD Projekt said. "The reason for making these changes is that updating the requirements is an important part of the game improvement process, and of enhancing and adding new features."
