Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 4K resolution on Xbox One X

Today, CD Projekt RED announced that Cyberpunk 2077 was launching on Xbox One and other platforms in April 2020. As with any major “AAA” game, a lot of players wanted to know how it ran on various consoles. According to the Microsoft Store listing, Cyberpunk 2077 is Xbox One X Enhanced and runs at 4K resolution on the system.

I mean red dead 2 is 4k native on xb x I don't see why cyberpunk wouldn't be.

[fathertime4464]

That's understating it though. Rrd2 looks great and is 4k, however it's kinda Barron and simple. This is way more impressive, it's a metropolis

[Lennoxb63]

They’ve optimized it well.

[timotim]

Not all games are made equally, but native 4K for a AAA is equally as impressive every time.

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

NA logic

[Obscure_Observer]

Scarlett is not really necessary

[meep316]

well technically we could have just stuck with super nintendo and still played games, but its not about what is necessary but what people actually want.

[meep316]

Thats not how this works, but it at least proves its possible.

[AngainorG7X]

Beast! No surprise here

[SierraGuy]

"Beast" at 30 fps.

Yes that cpu is a beast alright.

[Nintentional]

Wonder how PS4 compares?

[Gravesinger_]

@SierraGuy

I hope you're a PC guy, or you sound like a dumbass

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

I’m assuming your a pc guy and if you are I’m assuming your PC will run this game in 4K @ 60fps and I’m also assuming your rich with money to blow on such a powerful PC that you have...

[SierraGuy]

The "beast" should be able to run this walking simulator at 60fps...no?

PS is no better.

[RaLgEs]

PC Mustard rice!!

[poppinslops]

Whoa... that's like the gnarliest resolution!

[carcarias]

Can you run it at 1080 with 60fps? I'll take that over 4k 30fps any day. I hope it's an option.

[solidossnakos]

I don't think so.
To push fps or double it, the x1x cpu will bottleneck the gpu.

[Zeke68]

Yes but you only have 25% of the resolution going from 4k down to 1080p so you end up with less load on the cpu at the lower resolution.

[meep316]

@Zeke68 I dont mean to pick on you, but that is the most incorrect post Ive seen in a while. As the resolution goes down the cpu take a bigger hit as you become less gpu bound. However, with a 30 fps cap the cpu might already be doing everything it can even at higher resolutions, just depends on if the gpu is bottle-necking at all.

[Zeke68]

So you mean lowering the resolution will bottle-neck the cpu even more ? If so, how can many games not run at all in 4K but when you lower the resolution you can run them in 1080/60fps ? Explain that too me please. :)
"As the resolution goes down the cpu take a bigger hit as you become less gpu bound" - Or you use (assuming we are using a unified programming pipeline like the PS4 / Pro are using) the overhead of the GPU-power to offload the CPU like every other game on the PS4 does ?

[FlyingFoxy]

I'd be surprised if next gen could run this at 60fps 4k without compromise tbh.. Why i went 1440p high refresh for my gaming monitor.

The highest game graphics are gonna struggle to hold 60fps at 4k, you can already see that with high end GPUs on some graphic intensive titles on PC if you look up reviews of a 2080 for example, Tomb Raider being one of em.

[Razzer]

It doesn't say 4K at all. It says Xbox One X Enhanced. That does not mean it is 4K and there is no 4k Ultra HD logo. It probably will be 4K (in some way) at some point, but at this point this article is incorrect.

"Xbox One X Enhanced: Enhanced features for Xbox One X subject to release of a content update. Games information at xbox.com/enhanced."
https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...

"The Xbox One X Enhanced logo means the developer has done extra work to optimize for Xbox One X. This may include higher resolutions, faster framerates and/or improved textures. The HDR logo indicates that the game supports the HDR 10 standard. The 4K Ultra HD icon means the game outputs at 2160p"
https://www.xbox.com/en-US/...

[gamer7804]

Yup, either way though i Honestly for a game as visually impressive as cyberpunk id prefer them to add more detail and effects over 4k

[darthv72]

but wouldnt that 4k make the detail really... pop? You sort of need that resolution to add the detail seeing as it provides more room on screen to fit it all in.

[xenz]

4K litteraly adds more detail, and it helps massively to improve aliasing

[meep316]

I dont know @darthv72, it depends on the size of your screen and how far you are from it. On a 55" screen its hard to tell much difference above 1440p unless you get real close. However, most tvs dont accept anything in between 1080p and 2160p, so native 4k is nice when we can hit it since scaling from 1440p (or even somethign around that) to 4k doesnt always work out that well (red dead 2 on ps4 pro is kind of blurry).

[Kaze24]

X1X Enhanced is 4k even if it doesn't say 4k.. Most likely 4k/30fps, 1080p/60fps or even better at 1440p/60fps.

[Razzer]

Wrong. I posted the meaning of Xbox One X Enhanced. It explicitly says: "The 4K Ultra HD icon means the game outputs at 2160p"

[Vasto]

4K / 60?

[MasterCornholio]

With visuals like that maybe on next gen systems.

[Kaze24]

4k/30fps most likely but for sure 1080p/60fps.

[Goukira]

I'd rather play it at 1440p 60fps on my pc

[Father__Merrin]

So next gen if it can also hit 60fps in every game as well as 4k then many pc gamers will hop over. Name me the minimum GPU for hit 4k 60fps

[Kaze24]

From what I've read and heard, they're doing 4k and higher than 60fps next gen, X1X can already do some titles at 4k/60fps this gen, if it would of had more power it would of been able to do just that.

[mogwaii]

I'm more interested how it will be enhanced for PS5 and Scarlett because you know they're going to.

[Kaze24]

Same here, I'm sure it will be enhanced for both ps5 and xbox 2 when they launch.

[BenRC01]

Waiting for next gen remaster 4k/60 and the inevitable mountain of patches this game will receive

[HighPlayer28]

Great news for Xbox

[ironmonkey]

Doesnt say native 4k just says 4k enhanced.
