It's alright mate on Xbox you can download a game even if you down own it, which is great for situations like this or people who are getting the diskDang, ordered off cdkeys and they aren't sending the activation code til release day - so much for a preload
Gaming Cyberpunk 2077 (PC, PS4/5, Xbox One)
- Thread starter DWelbz19
- Start date
I'll probably download this from the PSstore, if the reviews are consistently positive. Was thinking of getting it on CD but I've noticed that my CD games make my PS4 sound like its about to take-off.
Yeh fair point. Seems worth a shot.
Someone on Reddit mentioned that sometimes games run better with a disc. Is that correct?
Surely not? I’ve played digital games mainly over the last 5 years and have never had any issues.
I guess there's a the ability to ignore a patch and sometimes that can result it being more future proofed for back compat play. Like God of War on PS4 which pre-patch was dynamic Res/frames, so the PS5 can push it to 4k60 but post patch they locked performance for a better experience on the Pro, and means PS5 isn't able to push past the 4k30 or 1440p60 barrier (can't remember exact numbers)
Otherwise not sure why it would run better on a disc
I don’t think it would be anything noticeable in that sense. They mentioned crushed blacks and a few other things. They could of course be chatting pyar shit
Pre-load is available now on PC. 59GB.
Best thing to do it buy PSN cards on CD Keys and then buy the game on the PS store using that. I get games £10 cheaper every time.Dang, ordered off cdkeys and they aren't sending the activation code til release day - so much for a preload
Tbh I don’t even know what that means so maybe they are right, I doubt it means much to my eyes haha.
That’s not too bad actually. Is that going to be similar on console?
Before a day 1 patch it takes around 70gb. I've freed up about 100 on my PS5. Hopefully that's enough.
Mine is on PC, not PS. So I guess cdkeys only get the codes after the game is out or something. Ah well, I'll just stick it on download while I'm working.
It’s the same, yeah. It’s been available on Xbox for a few days now
On the download queue
My Shopto copy was dispatched today, for some reason its on 48hour tracking rather then the usual first class, not sure if i chose that by accident! 
I have to wait for Santa to buy it for me...
Caved and got this to play over Christmas. Looking forward to getting stuck into a different type of RPG.
Had to cancel my SimplyGames preorder after they tweeted they were dispatching them on Wednesday. Shame, they were usually a safe bet for early deliveries.
Oh well, GOG it is. At least I can preload it now.

Didn't simply games go to shit a few years a go? I'll always love them for delivering Uncharted 3 about a fortnight before release date. I sold it on for more than I paid for it.
A lot of retailers that used to break store embargoes got their wrists slapped a few years a go. They don't risk it now.
Playstation pre load is tomorrow or has anyone tried it?
Will be waiting for a sale down the line on this one.
I expect it to get cheaper quick and will be a few patches before it's really ready.
Got a switch backlog to get through over Christmas which also helps kill my inner desire to play day one

So, does the day 1 patch mean you'll have to download 43 gigs after release date to play it? That is really annoying because they could've made pre loaded game come with the patch unless they are frantically trying to finish the patch in the last couple of days.
This game is going to be patched to high heaven in the coming months.
Yeah unfortunately. In fairness though it's usually how day one patches work. Shouldn't be too long a wait and it's all for the better anyway.
Yep. The Witcher 3 was the very same
have you pre-ordered the game? Because if so if your console is set to instant on won't it download the update at midnight?
No idea. I wasn't fussed about getting it early tbh (wouldn't have made a difference since I'm getting it on PC), I just wanted it on release and picked them because they were cheaper. Had to cancel because I couldn't risk not getting it on Thursday since I've taken the day off to play this. I was hoping I could get it earlier to preload it in time for thursday on account of my ghetto internet.
I'm going into it expecting bugs, maybe even have to go with new game a couple times, but it's the sort of game where I don't mind to do that, such options available the replay ability will be immense.
can anyone explain what is going on in resetera in realtion to this game. I cannot keep up but seems like a CDPR employee who was on the site promoting the game turned out to be bad news and site went into meltdown
They're in perpetual meltdown over it because they cant understand why a dystopian cyberpunk game should be stylistically and thematically dystopian and cyberpunk.
'Lads, it's Resetera.'
Supposedly the embargo lifts today around 5pm, though there's nothing official. That is what Opencritic said though.
it would be almost funny at this stage if it turned out to be another Mass Effect Andromeda and got fecking slaughtered.

As gutted as I'd be, it would be hilarious.
I don't remember this amount of hype for a game ever though. Closest I can think is GTA 5 but Cyberpunk seems to have broken the internet with the levels of hype it's generating.
Please be good! All my other pre-orders this year have been disappointing in different ways. This can save 2020
Well I'd imagine the CDPR employee was given a warm welcome seeing this thread:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/cd...-time-we-stop-making-excuses-for-them.307474/
has been stickied to the top of their gaming forum for months now. I'm going to bet the guy wasn't bad news at all and had to deal with a lot of toxic twats dogpiling on him.
Edit: I looked into it and it seems the Moderators didn't vet someone very well and verified someone claiming to be a CDPR employee which wasn't the case at all.

Red Dead 2 maybe? Even then, not to this level.
but yeah, it's crazy. I know loads of people who never even played The Witcher 3 who are mad for this. Especially since they added Keanu Reeves to it!
My brother isn't a huge gamer and he's more excited than me for this game, he didn't play Witcher either.
