Cyberpunk 2077 might have been one of the most visually striking games to hit our eyeballs during E3 2018, but the latest build is running smoothly on current-gen PC hardware. CD Projekt Red has detailed the rig it ran the gameplay demo on behind closed doors, but despite demo-ing the game on a 4K TV, it has now confirmed it was only rendering at 1080p.
Cyberpunk 2077 was easily one of the standout games from E3, and we’ve been waiting for more details of CD Projekt Red’s next RPG masterpiece since it dropped the original teaser bomb way back in 2013. But not only did we get a great new trailer, our Matt got behind the scenes to sit in on an hour of proper gameplay on PC too.
Looks like you’re going to need a better screen… Check out our pick of the around today.
When Matt stumbled out into the light of day after his demo he was positive that, given the sheer scale and density of the game world, it couldn’t possibly be running on current-gen hardware. And yet CD Projekt Red has confirmed it’s both shooting for a current-gen release and that its stunning demo was running on pretty standard PC gaming hardware.

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Another potentially great option for turn-based strategy fans, Mechanicus is a fun and surprisingly accessible title that can appease to both Warhammer 40,000 fans and people with little to no knowledge about the franchise.

The second was EA boss Andrew Wilson's closing remarks, which I've struggled to shake because, well, I'm not going to pull any punches here - they stank of hypocrisy.

Updated story (June 14th): Though Trials Rising was confirmed for Nintendo Switch during Ubisoft's E3 press conference, the game's upcoming closed beta won't be coming to the platform, an Ubisoft spokesperson has confirmed to Eurogamer.

There's no word on what the closed beta will feature, but Ubisoft mentioned during the conference it will arrive later this year.

Payday developer Overkill's The Walking Dead game was given a release date at E3 2018's PC Gaming Show.
