This is a really interesting situation. Even though this isn't a content update, it's still a pretty significant update for a game that has nobody left on the development team, which is almost a "ghost in the shell" scenario on its own. I'm guessing the work from this was done largely by Intel and/or AMD. And it makes sense why they'd be pushing out updates for a game that the studio has stopped working on; people still use CP77 to show off the capabilities of their high-end PCs, which is free advertising for these guys.
I just love that we got to see Cyberpunk go from "so broken that it was pulled from stores" to "THE benchmark game".
After the miraculous recovery of No Man’s Sky, I thought ‘Well, that’ll never happen again.’ and it happened again.
This is at least the third time. FFXIV was terrible at launch and was fixed a couple of years later with the release of 2.0
Yeah, it's honestly impressive how many times it's happened. I'd hope that they'd do better if they launched in a good state to start with, but I think failing allowed them to reprioritize to fix issues that were hurting the core, which probably wouldn't have been fixed if they did well and just added new things.
Yep, it's doing the work that Crysis used to do for PC's.
