It’s been a tumultuous 24 hours forCyberpunk 2077, which is funny considering no major announcements have been made.Cyberpunk 2077was featured in Nvidia’s recent showcase of its 3000 series RTX graphics cards. A trailer featuring DLSS-enhancedCyberpunk 2077gameplay with ray-tracing was shown in all its glory. Alongside the trailer, an image from Nvidia was shared that led to some confusion, prompting CD Projekt Red to tell fans that PC specifications will be coming soon.
It’s a roundabout story, but the key part of it is that one Nvidia image that was shared in theCyberpunk 2077community. The image included a screenshot ofCyberpunk 2077with labeling at the bottom saying, “Next-Gen Games Creat I/O Challenges” with a mention of “200GB Games” below it.Cyberpunk 2077fans on Reddit ran with the image, questioningwhether Cyberpunk 2077 will require a 200GB install. Naturally, reactions to the possibility were not particularly rational.

Further, he adds that, “You can expect the required HDD space to be on par with other modern titles.” No final number is provided becauseCD Projekt Redis still finalizingCyberpunk 2077’s final system requirements.
