Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements

What are the Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements? CD Projekt Red is ready to bring yet another major update to Cyberpunk 2077, shortly after revealing that a new game has entered pre-production. For now, the PC system requirements for this epic RPG remain unchanged since Phantom Liberty's release, and you'll need some impressive hardware to run it at 4K with high frame rates.

Despite this, you won't need the best graphics card to run Cyberpunk 2077 in 2025, at least not if you're aiming for 60fps at 1080p, but if you're aiming for those 4K ray tracing specs, your entire build will likely need an upgrade. The Phantom Liberty DLC introduced the new requirement for an SSD, but also generally raised the requirements for all performance levels.

Here are the Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements in 2025:

Take our Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements PC benchmark test to answer the question… Can I run Cyberpunk 2077?

The Cyberpunk 2077 minimum requirements have risen in every way possible, as was expected. You need at least an Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB, AMD Radeon RX 580, or Intel Arc A380 in your system. Processors see a similar spike too, with the Intel Core i7 6700 and AMD Ryzen 5 1600 setting the new floor, paired with 12GB of RAM.

It's a similar story with the Cyberpunk 2077 recommended specs, which have also seen a jump. The GPU increase isn't too high, with the RTX 2060 Super, Radeon RX 5700 XT, and Arc A770 all being relatively mainstream and affordable pixel pushers. You will, however, need something close to the best gaming CPU, though, as the Intel Core i7 12700 and AMD Ryzen 7 7800X take center stage, in addition to another 4GB of RAM, bringing the total up to 16GB.

Here are the Cyberpunk 2077 ray tracing PC specs in 2025:

For those of you with ray-tracing-capable hardware, CD Projekt Red has laid out some separate Cyberpunk 2077 ray-tracing PC specs. The above hardware should set you up for a 1080p experience at 30fps and 60fps, respectively.

Cyberpunk 2077 also now supports Nvidia DLSS 4, which offers multi-frame gen to RTX 5000 owners. However, most notable is the move to the AI transformer model of DLSS super resolution, which won't provide the same frame rate boost when using it, but the image quality is massively improved versus DLSS 3 or AMD FSR. This new upscaling model is available to all RTX GPU owners.

The Cyberpunk 2077 download size currently sits at 75GB with an SSD now required. Mechanical hard drives have no place in the future, dystopian or otherwise, and you'll now need to play the game on the best SSD your system can handle.
