CD PROJEKT RED and NVIDIA Partner to Bring Ray Tracing to ‘Cyberpunk 2077’
June 11 2019 - 3:00PM
E3—NVIDIA and CD PROJEKT RED today announced that
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ is an official technology partner for
Cyberpunk 2077 and that the companies are working together to bring
real-time ray tracing to the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 won over 100 awards at E3 2018 and Gamespot calls
it “one of the most anticipated games of the decade.” The game is
the next project from CD PROJEKT RED, makers of the highly
acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which has won numerous “Game of
the Year” awards. NVIDIA and CD PROJEKT RED have a long history of
technology collaboration that spans more than a decade.
“Cyberpunk 2077 is an incredibly ambitious game, mixing
first-person perspective and deep role-playing, while also creating
an intricate and immersive world in which to tell its story,” said
Matt Wuebbling, head of GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. “We think the
world of Cyberpunk will greatly benefit from the realistic lighting
that ray tracing delivers.”
Ray tracing is the advanced graphics technique used to give
movies their ultra-realistic visual effects. NVIDIA GeForce RTX
GPUs contain specialized processor cores designed specifically to
accelerate ray tracing so the visual effects in games can be
rendered in real time.
“Ray tracing allows us to realistically portray how light
behaves in a crowded urban environment,” says Adam Badowski, head
of Studio at CD PROJEKT RED. “Thanks to this technology, we can add
another layer of depth and verticality to the already impressive
megacity the game takes place in.”
Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure story set in
Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour and body
modification. You play as V, a mercenary outlaw going after a
one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality. You can
customize your character’s cyberware, skillset and playstyle, and
explore a vast city where the choices you make shape the story and
the world around you.
E3 attendees will get a firsthand look at Cyberpunk 2077 at
booth 1023 in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.
More details, as well as exclusive 4K screenshots featuring
real-time ray tracing on PC, are available at www.nvidia.com.
