![]() It’s not only vertically impressive, with its brutal skyscrapers, but horizontally, with crisscrossing highways, bridges, and walkways that help the city feel like a beautiful, chaotic mess. The design of Night City, a metropolis that stretches along the Pacific Coast, feels unlike any other open world location I’ve experienced. GeForce Now also has the added advantage of connecting to a PC’s games library, so unlike Stadia, it won’t require a separate purchase or save when playing on a computer.įor those who have the internet connection for it, streaming is currently the best place to play Cyberpunk 2077 outside of an expensive PC.įor anyone with an expensive PC, however, Cyberpunk can be a glorious experience. According to CD Projekt Red’s own technical requirements, it should support it just fine, but that’s not the case. GeForce Now, a subscription to which is cheaper, offers a marked visual improvement over Stadia, and even supports ray tracing, something that consistently crashed my expensive PC rig due to some bug. Stadia is a more pleasant app to interact with than Nvidia’s offering, and if you sign up for a Pro membership to unlock 4K, it provides you with a $10-off coupon to spend on the game. Surprisingly, streaming is a much better way of playing the game, either via Google Stadia of GeForce Now. Wait and see what the next-gen patch brings early next year- don’t taint the experience now. And it’s my informed opinion that if you are planning on playing the game on console, you simply shouldn’t right now.Įven on Xbox Series X, where the game is markedly more stable than on last-generation consoles, it’s a disappointment compared to the next-gen visual delights afforded by games that are optimized for the system. I have now played Cyberpunk 2077 on a variety of platforms, including a desktop PC that is running the game at ultra settings, Xbox Series X, Stadia, and GeForce Now.

As if their identity as a bartender was a separate non-player character (NPC). It was almost as if this person was a completely different character than the one I’d spent all those hours with.

I hadn’t realized how invested and immersed by Cyberpunk 2077 I had been until this moment. It was V, the avatar that my adventures in Night City were being experienced through. The revelation that they had been using me all along for nefarious purposes hit me like a ton of bricks, despite the fact that it wasn’t me.
