CDPR has also announced that The Witcher series surpassed 75 million units sold last year. So, yes, if you’re doing the math (75 million […]
Future minor Cyberpunk 2077 updates aren't ruled out, according to Game Director Gabe Amatangelo. The Game Director said as much in a new interview with reported Stephen Totilo (for the Game File newsletter). The story of Cyberpunk 2077 is well-known among the community, and the development team has done an amazing job of turning a rather troubled game at launch (although CDPR's VP of PR and Communication didn't fully agree with that) into a tremendous one. Numerous patches and updates were released following the game's launch in 2020, including the recent 2.0 update alongside the praised Phantom Liberty expansion. The […]

A recently released modification improves Cyberpunk 2077 path tracing and ray tracing through a simple file tweak. Although the 2.1 update packed improvements to both ray tracing and path tracing, it also caused some issues compared to previous updates. Some users have reported lower quality after the 2.1 update was installed. A crafty modder has now released a small .ini file that restores the game's ray tracing and path tracing effects to 'normal'. Created by modder 'TenebrisVenit', this file can be downloaded and placed in the game's /platform/pc folder to revert settings and, seemingly, improve ray and path tracing quality. […]
