Cyberpunk 2077: 10 Gameplay Details You Need To Know

1. "Next-Gen" Graphics

One of the most tantalising yet worrying reactions to the demo is that apparently everything from the visuals to the scope of the world in Cyberpunk 2077 feels next gen.

With how long the project has been in development for, there were worries that the title could skip this generation entirely and end up being a launch game for the next Xbox and PS5. Whether that turns out to be true or not is anyone's guess, but the fact these rumours have seemingly been confirmed by the people who have actually seen the title first hand seems to give the idea credence.

That said, the quality of the graphics could be down to the devs simply running the demo on a ridiculously high-end PC, and will be toned down slightly by the time it hits consoles.

On the one hand, the proclamations that Cyberpunk looks good enough to be a next-gen release is a testament to the build's quality, but on the other it could mean that fans have an even longer wait before they can finally get their hands on this long-anticipated title.
