What are the Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements? The Phantom Liberty expansion raises the floor for Cyberpunk 2077 PC specs, finally doing away with official mechanical hard drive support and more. Regardless of whether you plan to light Night City with ray tracing or not, you may need to upgrade your system to play the RPG.
You won’t need the best graphics card to run Cyberpunk 2077, but if you’re aiming for those 4K ray tracing specs, your entire build will likely need an upgrade.
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.
Here are the Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements:
| Minimum | Recommended | |
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 10 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i7 6700 AMD Ryzen 5 1600 |
Intel Core i7 12700 AMD Ryzen 7 7800X |
| RAM | 12GB | 16GB |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB AMD Radeon RX 580 Intel Arc A380 |
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Intel Arc A770 |
| VRAM | 6GB | 8GB |
| Storage | 70GB SSD | 70GB SSD |
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.
While the Cyberpunk 2077 download size requirements haven’t changed, the device you need to play it on has. 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.

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 skews should set you up for a 1080p experience at 30fps and 60fps, respectively.
Cyberpunk 2077 also supports DLSS 3 if you’re running an RTX 40-series GPU, with the developer calling for the Nvidia RTX 4080 as the base graphics card for turning on the ‘Ray Tracing: Overdrive preset’.
