PC or Xbox?

[Townsendvol]

Hi y’all,

Considering picking this game up while it’s on sale and wondering if I should get it for my Xbox or PC?

Thoughts on differences between the two?

Thank you for any help.

PS. PC is a high end PC and can use controller on it if that’s better.

PC, because you got more options for the future! 👍

Thank you appreciate the reply. Watching a Youtube video now and it appears that it was completely designed for the PC and to take advantage of the 30 series cards. I have a RTX 3080 so seems like PC might be the best option.

PC all the way.

a) The game needs quite some power, so high end pc is the best you can do. (I also have a 3080. runs grrrrreat). Make sure to install it on a ssd.
b) Mods!

(controller for driving can work quite well. For shooting kb+m is clearly superior)

Thank you, so you can seamlessly switch between controller and keyboard?

I am really thinking of getting the Ultimate edition so I can get base game and DLC for about what $55, sounds like a good deal.

More of a fantasy setting lover but nice to have a change up. :)

Yep. I played it for quite some time with a ps4 controler (just for driving), while still using kb+m for walking/shooting.
Nowadays is prefer to use kb+m for driving as well, since now we have vehicle combat (so you can aim with the mouse while driving with wasd, headshoting drivers).
But I use an analog keyboard that can simulate a controler on keypress, so that I dont have to drive with full throttle all the time. (so essentially I have a keyboard, but technically the w and s keys are a controller axis)

Appreciate the replies. Thank you!

My brother would say "Well PS4 on launch wasn't THAT bad!" because even mentioning you made a bug report gets them demanding I uninstall if I hate the game so much.

While I would say "Play PC so you can at the very least use mods for console commands to ♥♥♥♥♥♥ things a bit" (even though I stubbornly played vanilla until 2.1)

Has to be PC, not only for the graphics and mod options but also I don't like FPS games on a controller.

Definitely PC, especially since you have a 3080. You will be able to enjoy more ray tracing features than what is available on the console version. Cyberpunk is a PC-first game after all, this is the version that CDPR wanted people to play. And DLSS is just better than the FSR being used on Xbox.

Beside all that was already mentioned, on both Xbox Series X and PS5 I had nasty frame drops and stuttering at areas in front of mega building 10 and also at some market places. It runs so much smoother on PC where you can tweak a lot of settings.

[Townsendvol]

Awesome. Thank y’all. PC it is when/if I pull the trigger.

The consoles have a very narrow FOV option that becomes extremely nauseating shortly after playing. Comparing it at 1440p ultra settings maximum FOV on PC vs narrow FOV on PS5 is night and day.
