Official Storefronts
Game Overview
CD PROJEKT RED's Cyberpunk 2077 is the visual benchmark of modern PC gaming. Set in the dystopian megalopolis of Night City, players control V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary battling for survival alongside digital rockstar Johnny Silverhand.
Gameplay Mechanics & Competitive Dynamics
First-person open-world action RPG featuring gunplay, katana cyberware combat, quickhacking cyberdecks, Sandevistan bullet-time reflex mechanics, and vehicle combat.
Immersive sci-fi RPG. The 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty expansion completely overhauled cyberware capacity, perk trees, police pursuit AI, and Dogtown verticality.
Matchmaking & SBMM Heuristic Breakdown
Single-player offline experience. No multiplayer, matchmaking, or SBMM algorithms exist.

SBMM Lobby Editorial Performance & Competitive Tuning
Independent laboratory benchmark guidance for competitive frame pacing and low input latency.
The definitive PC hardware stress test. REDengine 4 pushes graphics hardware to its limits with full Path Tracing (Ray Tracing Overdrive). Dense crowd simulation in Night City market squares demands at least an 8-core CPU and fast NVMe storage.
| Resolution | Target FPS | Suggested GPU | Preset | Technical Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 60 FPS | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 / AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT | High | Locks 60 FPS with DLSS or FSR Quality enabled. |
| 1440p | 60 FPS | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 / AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT | Ultra | Ray Tracing Medium or High achieves fluid 60+ FPS with DLSS 3 Frame Generation. |
| Steam Deck (800p) | 30 FPS | Custom AMD RDNA 2 (8 CUs) | Medium | Steam Deck Verified. Official Steam Deck graphic preset locks 30 FPS with FSR 2.1. |
Competitive Latency & Frame Pacing Optimization
- Set Crowd Density to Medium: High crowd density causes 20%+ CPU frametime spikes in Dogtown and City Center.
- Use DLSS Ray Reconstruction when enabling ray tracing for superior edge stability and denoising.
