NVIDIA is extending DLSS 5 compatibility to RTX Remix, its modding toolkit, letting users apply the AI rendering technology to older PC games. The feature builds on existing mods that already enable DLSS 5 in a wide range of titles, allowing lighting and character rendering to be altered significantly.
YouTuber RandomGaminginHD tested an 8GB version of Nvidia's decade-old GTX 750 Ti, sold by lesser-known brand Xynsviu for around £160, and found it manages roughly 32fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p on lowest settings with FSR upscaling. The card uses the same GM107 die and 640 CUDA cores as the original 2GB model, with memory chips clocked slightly below stock speeds, and overall performance closely mirrors the 2014 card despite the larger VRAM pool.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Max chip, 36GB of RAM and 2TB of storage has dropped to $3,499, a 20 percent discount and $400 less than it cost just days earlier. Retailers say this is $150 below any previous sale price for this configuration, even after Apple raised prices across the lineup in June.
CD Projekt Red is releasing Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.5 on October 22nd for PC, Mac, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, with Nintendo Switch 2 and Mac App Store support following days later. The update introduces mod.io-powered cross-platform mod browsing from the in-game menu, Edgerunners-inspired content like a new side quest and radio station, dual-wielding pistols, DLSS 4.5 support, and a console FOV slider.
CD Projekt RED and Studio Trigger have released a follow-up to their 'Cyberpunk 2077' anime, moving away from the single-protagonist structure of the original to tell a story centered on multiple characters. The new season is set in the same Night City world previously anchored by lead character David Martinez.
CD Projekt Red has indicated that an upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 movie will not directly adapt the game's plot, but instead add new stories set within its world. The studio wants film and other media tie-ins to broaden the universe rather than lock in a single canonical version of events.
Paramount Pictures is developing a live-action film based on Cyberpunk 2077, with CD Projekt Red producing alongside Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. No director, cast or release date has been revealed, and it's unclear whether the film will follow the game's story of mercenary V and rocker Johnny Silverhand or use the setting for new characters.
Deadline reports Paramount Pictures is developing a live-action movie based on CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077, with the game studio producing alongside veteran action producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. No plot details or casting have been revealed, and it's unclear whether this project is connected to a 2023 production deal involving Anonymous Content.
Paramount Pictures is adapting CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 video game into a live-action feature film, according to Deadline. Transformers producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached to the project, though no release date or other details have been announced.
An open-source GitHub project called DLSS-NR-on-AMD is reimplementing Nvidia's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering runtime to work on AMD Radeon RX 9000 and RX 7000 series cards, currently supporting DirectX 12 titles that use FSR, including Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA V Enhanced. Early builds saw frame rates collapse from over 80 FPS to around 11-12 FPS on a Radeon RX 9070 XT, but successive alpha releases have delivered roughly 74% combined performance gains within 24 hours, and a new AMDNR launcher now automates installation.
Korean outlet QuasarZone tested the GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition running Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with DLSS 5 enabled, recording peak power draw near 650W and a 16-pin (12VHPWR) connector temperature of 91.7 degrees Celsius, higher than the GPU die itself. The RTX 5080 also showed a temperature rise with DLSS 5 on, though smaller in magnitude than the 5090's.
CD Projekt co-CEO Michał Nowakowski said the decision to build The Witcher 4 on Unreal Engine 5 dates back to late 2021, after the studio saw Epic's Matrix Awakens tech demo, rather than being a reaction to Cyberpunk 2077's rocky launch. He clarified that Cyberpunk's problems weren't caused by its engine, and that CD Projekt has since formed a deep partnership with Epic to customize Unreal Engine's core technology for its open-world games.
