CD Projekt Red's Latest Confirmation Is Good News To 'Cyberpunk 2077' Fans

Gaming studio CD Projekt Red has recently confirmed some good news about “Cyberpunk 2077.”

The upcoming RPG title would be massive in scale, but it would not take a lot of space in the hard drive. Unlike other games, “Cyberpunk 2077” would not take up a 200 GB space, said CDPR Global Community Lead Marcin Momot. The upcoming title would be on par with other modern games in terms of required HDD space, the executive added.

Based on CD Projekt Red’s recent statement, it is safe to assume that “Cyberpunk 2077” could require between 30 GB and 199 GB of space. “The Witcher 3” takes around 35 GB of space while other titles like “Red Dead Redemption 2” eat around 100 GB of space. The majority of big-budget titles usually fall somewhere between 60 GB and 100 GB.

Momot’s recent tweet is an attempt to shoot down rumors about the game’s file size. There was a thread on Reddit claiming that “Cyberpunk 2077” would be a massive game in scope. The thread speculated that the game could eat as much as 200 GB of space.

The executive also teased that more information about “Cyberpunk 2077” is coming soon. The PC system requirements of the game would be released shortly, Momot added. With the game arriving this Fall, an early announcement of these details could help players prepare.

Meanwhile, Nvidia showed a new trailer of “Cyberpunk 2077” during its announcement of the new GeForce RTX 30 series. The Ampere GPU series consists of RTX 3090, RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 graphics cards. The chipmaker also used several “Cyberpunk 2077” screenshots to show how a demanding game could take advantage of the company’s latest RTX IO technology.

CD Projekt Red earlier confirmed that “Cyberpunk 2077” will finally arrive on November 19, 2020. The upcoming role-playing title launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It will also launch on next-generation gaming consoles’ Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
