Cyberpunk 2077 to Feature Vertical Asset Streaming to Maximize Visual Quality of the Game

Tomorrow, at 8 PM CEST/11 AM PST, Cyberpunk 2077 fans will get the chance to see new footage of the highly anticipated open world first-person roleplaying game cheers to the gameplay stream planned past CD Projekt. Meanwhile, though, new tidbits on the game'south evolution take been released through an interview conducted at gamescom 2019.

Speaking to USgamer, CD Projekt and Cyberpunk 2077 producer Richard Borzymowski explained one new flim-flam the Polish developers are using in order to maximize the visual quality of the game: vertical asset streaming.

This is one of the old developer tricks. In order to maximise the visual quality you are getting on screen, you are basically loading out all the things that are not on the screen. If you lot were to load everything so everything would be at a style lower quality.

Here, in Cyberpunk 2077, nosotros have vertical streaming likewise. Because when yous look up you lot might stream out something below, whereas if yous look down you might stream out something above you.

This makes perfect sense. The playable world of Cyberpunk 2077 will be vastly unlike from The Witcher iii's largely flat environments; on the opposite, it volition be smaller in terms of width but much more than vertical due to the skyscrapers inherent to the setting.

Cyberpunk 2077 is scheduled to be released on April 16th, 2020 for PC, PlayStation iv and Xbox Ane. The game was also recently confirmed for Google Stadia, though at that place is no release date yet for Google's deject-just platform.
