After a host of private press showings at E3 and Gamescom, you can finally watch the full Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay demo. Powered by an Intel i7-8700K and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, CD Projekt Red says it "started the process of optimization" from the beginning of development.  

Speaking to CGMagazine, lead cinematic animator Maciej Pietras says building Night City posed a "huge challenge" against the studio's previous game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but that optimization was considered from the outset.
