Cyberpunk 2077: FSR3 Update Confirmed, But Development Ends
In a surprising turn of events, CD Projekt Red confirms FSR3 support for Cyberpunk 2077 despite the game's development team moving on.
This news comes alongside a separate report revealing that after three and a half years, no developers at CD Projekt Red are actively working on Cyberpunk 2077.
While the FSR3 update might benefit PC players the most, it signifies CD Projekt Red's continued commitment to enhancing the game's performance, even as they shift focus to The Witcher and Cyberpunk's sequel, codenamed Orion.
So, Cyberpunk 2077 may no longer be actively developed, but FSR3 offers a glimmer of hope for improved performance, especially for PC players.
Minecraft Comes Alive! Animated Series Blasts onto Netflix
Minecraft builds a new world on Netflix! An animated series featuring an original story and fresh characters is coming soon. WildBrain (Sonic Prime) brings the blocky world to life in CG animation. A short teaser hints at iconic elements like Creepers and the Nether. The release date remains a mystery, but "soon" on Netflix can mean anything from months to years. Still, Minecraft's enduring popularity (launched in 2009) means this is a pickaxe-wielding good time to come!
