Starting from the next update, the new minimum requirements are as follows:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Intel Core i5-8400
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB
VRAM: 6 GB
RAM: 12 GB
Storage: 70 GB SSD
OS: 64-bit Windows 11
These minimum requirements reflect how hardware capabilities and software usage have evolved since we last changed the system requirements. In particular:
Windows 11 will be the minimum required OS for both The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 following Microsoft's end of support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. Without ongoing security updates, official platform support, and continued GPU driver support, we will no longer test our games on Windows 10.
HDDs will no longer be supported, as SSDs offer faster load times, smoother asset streaming, and improved overall performance.
The game will exclusively run using DirectX 12, which allows us to support ongoing technical improvements and modern hardware more effectively.
Only processors supported on Windows 11 will be supported by us.
Only graphics cards with ongoing active driver support for gaming on Windows 11 will be supported.
