Breaking News: Cyberpunk 2077 Unveils Jaw-Dropping 20 Update with Epic PC System Boost

CD Projekt Red has released updated system requirements for Cyberpunk 2077's 2.0 update and the upcoming expansion, Phantom Liberty. The new update strictly supports SSD, so it is advisable to either clear up space or purchase one if you need to make the switch.

Compared to the previous minimum requirements, the updated system requirements are considerably more demanding. To run the game on low settings, you will now need a minimum of 12GB RAM and 6GB VRAM, with an expected frame rate of 30. These minimum requirements are similar to the recommended requirements at the game's launch. Running the game at higher resolutions beyond 1080p or with ray-tracing will require additional hardware specifications. The complete system requirements are provided below.
