A Reddit user has leaked facts about _Cyberpunk 2077 _ after apparently receiving an early copy of the game. CD Projekt Red's long-awaited RPG is finally set to release next week on December 9th, after a long line of delays. The most recent holdup actually surprised the developers as much as it surprised the fans, as they were apparently not made aware of the delay until the news went public on social me

After eight long years of patience and controversy, **Cyberpunk 2077 ** reviews are finally rolling in, and the question on every potential player's mind is if the game can possibly live up to its hype. Review keys for the game have been difficult to come by, but the critical response so far is overwhelmingly positive. However, it's a little more mixed than some of CD Projekt Red 's most faithful were probably expect

The setting for Cyberpunk 2077 is the futuristic and dense megalopolis known as Night City. Because of this, there are a lot of scenes involving flashing light. These flashing lights, especially red and white light, are a major trigger for many people with epilepsy. This has been the main reason for the epilepsy warning, but it's not the only seizure trigger found in Cyberpunk 20

Fans have had a long time to get impatient for Cyberpunk 2077 . Some have channeled that impatience in strange new directions; someone has already released a VR porn parody of the game , a good while before the actual release. With just five days to go until it finally arrives, players can practically feel the case in their hands, even if they didn't get an early copy. One can only hope that once _Cyberpunk 2077 _ finally does release, it will prove to be well worth the w

Unfortunately, when the game hits shelves on December 10th, not everyone will be able to fully enjoy the bright lights of Night City. Liana Ruppert, a journalist for Game Informer , issued a PSA yesterday warning epileptic fans of an overabundance of flashing lights in the game which could potentially trigger seizures. Given the high-tech nature of the game's setting, this is perhaps understandable, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous. Among the many potential triggers Ruppert outlined were decorative lights pulsing in multiple bars and nightclubs, as well as a glitchy visual effect which appeared every time Keanu Reeves' character Johnny Silverhand appeared onscreen. She also identified the game's braindance mechanic as a major threat; the headset that protagonist V uses to engage with this mechanic in-game bears an unfortunate resemblance to a medical device used specifically to trigger epileptic episodes, and is roughly as effect

Leaks like this aren't typically the most reliable way to get information, especially for something as major as this. But DanXcel has backed up his claims with some pretty convincing photographic evidence, including a photo of the game discs themselves in their case. There's also precedent for players getting their copies early; one fan received their copy of the PS4 Collector's Edition from Best Buy two days ago, well ahead of the game's actual launch. Of course, fans who still doubt the validity of DanXcel's Reddit leak will be able to verify it for themselves in just five days' t

But one fan doesn't have to wait until CyberNight. Reddit user DanXcel has apparently had his copy of the elusive game shipped to him early, giving him a golden opportunity to explore the game's technical aspects . He has confirmed that the game has two separate modes, at least on Xbox Series X; there's a "performance" mode and a "quality" mode. The basic concepts behind these two modes are pretty self-explanatory; the quality mode emphasizes graphics and makes the game look as pretty as possible, while performance mode emphasizes smoother gameplay, sacrificing visual quality in order to put less strain on the console. DanXcel was unable to provide any deep specifications on either mode, but he confirmed that performance mode was much smoother than quality in terms of framerate. He also identified a noticeable drop in visual resolution in performance mode, but that didn't prevent him from identifying performance mode as the preferable option thanks to its better gameplay experie

CD Projekt Red has responded well to Ruppert's warning. On Twitter the developer replied directly to Game Informer 's message and declared its intention to add a new warning to the game aside from the one included in the EULA. It also mentioned that the dev team is already looking into the specific triggers listed by Ruppert, Cyberpunk2077Fans.com and will be implementing "a more permanent solution" as soon as possible. Whether this solution consists of a blanket overhaul to the game's lighting or a discrete mode that epileptic fans can toggle on remains to be seen. There is as of yet no time frame for this solution either; in the meantime, epileptic fans who want to play the game should take extreme care to avoid th

"I found it moving and life-affirming in the final moments, even in the face of near certain death and a relentless onslaught of bugs. I suppose it's an appropriate thematic throughline though: Cyberpunk 2077 is a game about V coming apart at the seams, in a city coming apart at the seams, in a game coming apart at the seams. Play it in a few mont
