This transformation has made Night City a captivating destination for players.

According to their recent updates, the developers emphasize ongoing enhancements to performance as they strive to meet these ambitious targets.

CD Projekt RED has recently increased its hiring efforts, signaling ongoing work on Project Orion, which is envisioned as a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. While the wait for a new installment could be lengthy, there is hope that the end result will be well worth the anticipation.
