News No Cyberpunk 2077 Update Planned for RPG's 5th Anniversary
Not so preem
Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red might be teasing something for the game's imminent fifth anniversary.

Major leagues
It's actually mad to look back on the beginnings of Cyberpunk 2077 and compare that time to where the game is now.

News The Witcher 4 Being Built for PS5 First and Foremost, Will Target 60fps
Big ambitions
CD Projekt RED has, historically, focused on the PC versions of its games, and then dialled them down for console. But this hasn’t always been a successful strategy for the studio.

Press X to doubt
CD Projekt RED momentarily dropped jaws this week when it showed a demo of The Witcher 4, running at 60fps with ray tracing on a bog-standard PS5.
