We are talking about Ubisoft

Cyberpunk runs well on HDDs too, and the physical release for Switch 2 has little to no loading times impact

Cyberpunk runs ~~well~~ on HDDs.

ftfy

No, it doesn't just merely run. I played it on a laptop HDD

PS4 runs Cyberpunk too, but swap that HDD for the cheapest 2,5” SATA SSD you can find and the game suddenly stops having texture pop-in issues when moving fast.

We are talking about Ubisoft, they’re technical wizards and their game engines are nothing short of actual magic.

They have made an impossible port look AND run better than the xbox seriesS the game originally launched on. If there’s anyone you can believe about technical limitations, it’s them

It's sad that you're getting downvoted for complimenting Ubisoft. You're not wrong though, their games (and the Snowdrop engine) are technically incredible. But that doesn't fit the narrative that Ubisoft are evil, pushing a "woke agenda", and anyone associated with them should be burnt alive.

I expected it, tbh. The gamer crowd is especially prone to piling on to bandwagons they are clueless about. But you know, if it encourages just one of these people to look at the games they’re criticizing, it’s net positive
