CD Projekt Red has announced the release of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition on December 5th. This new version of the game includes all content, including the Phantom Liberty expansion, and features a “visual overhaul” powered by Nvidia.
Nvidia has stated that this release will showcase the technical and graphical enhancements that Cyberpunk 2077 has received over time, providing a glimpse into the future of PC gaming. The Ultimate Edition will incorporate major Nvidia features such as full ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction, and NVIDIA Reflex.
One of the standout graphical features is Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode, which fully ray traces every neon sign, street lamp, and LED billboard in the game. This creates more realistic shadows, depth, and detail in the lighting. Combined with ray reconstruction, Cyberpunk 2077 becomes the ultimate RTX experience. Additionally, the Ultimate Edition includes DLSS and Reflex, which enhance game performance and responsiveness.
To fully enjoy Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, a GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics card is recommended. While it may be possible to run the game on older GPUs, the resource-intensive features, especially path tracing, can significantly impact frame rates.
For those without an RTX 40 card, Nvidia offers the option to play the game through the GeForce NOW Ultimate cloud gaming service. This allows players to experience the game on an equivalent RTX 4080 setup for a monthly fee of $25.99.
The collaboration between CD Projekt Red and Nvidia has resulted in engine optimizations, under-the-hood tech features, and tailored Game Ready Drivers. This partnership aims to elevate the gaming experience to new heights.
