Cyberpunk 2077 updates its PC requirements to add the equipment you need to run it at high resolutions and with ray tracing.

Cyberpunk 2077 updates its requirements on PC to delve into the different settings beyond the minimum and recommended. In addition, the Polish company details what equipment we need if we want to play it with ray tracing activated.

The main changes come hand in hand with memory: Cyberpunk 2077 needs at least 16 GB of memory to run ray tracing in between. In that case, an RTX 2060 graphics card is recommended, while higher settings call for a next-gen model from NVIDIA.
