PC Gamer has an article detailing the hardware spec changes happening for 2077. I know some people are upset over this. And while I get it, games evolve with the hardware over time. You have to keep up in this hobby, just the way it is sadly like it or not. Here is a snip;
"The changes to the minimum requirements are a reflection of our new standard of requirements, which we believe better represent the minimum PC configuration required to run the game at 1080p, while maintaining an average of 30 FPS at low preset," CD Projekt said. "The reason for making these changes is that updating the requirements is an important part of the game improvement process, and of enhancing and adding new features."
One significant change, at least symbolically, is the end of hard drive support: The amount of storage space hasn't changed but the new minimum spec says that an SSD is required, not just recommended. CD Projekt said that hard drives will continue to operate (and, in general, Cyberpunk 2077 will continue to run on the older minimum hardware) but active support for them will be ended, and future updates will no longer be tested on HDD-based setups.
