Articles Cyberpunk 2077

The first half of 2026 has already dropped a stack of strong releases, and with GTA 6 and Marvel's Wolverine still to come, there's plenty to keep you busy in the meantime. This is our running list of the best games to play right now across PC, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2 — some brand-new, others a few years old but still at the top of their genre thanks to regular updates. We've split everything by genre, so jump to whatever you're in the mood for. One thing to set straight up front: this is a "what to play now" list, not a "came out this year" one. A few entries are older, but they keep pulling players back with new seasons, expansions and patches.

Vivid heroines have always attracted attention, and games are no exception. In the early 90s, players went crazy for Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat, and after 1996 millions became captivated by Lara Croft from Tomb Raider. Today, players' interests are focused on Tifa Lockhart, Ada Wong, Triss Merigold, and many others. They are the subject of this article.

Role-playing games (RPGs) are one of the most popular genres in the industry. This list brings together the best RPGs in history — from the classics of the 90s (Fallout, Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape: Torment) to major new releases: the GOTY hit Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Obsidian's Avowed, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the Chinese hit Black Myth: Wukong, and the sequel The Outer Worlds 2. We divided all role-playing games into eight themed categories: open-world RPGs, isometric CRPGs, story-driven single-player RPGs, Soulslikes, JRPGs, Diablo-likes, genre classics, and indie projects — so you can quickly find exactly the type of RPG you are looking for right now.

Looking for the best open-world games? Our TOP-100 features only current hits and proven classics for PC and consoles. Updated with the latest 2026 releases! "An open world isn't just kilometers of roads — it's a feeling of total freedom. In this list we've gathered 100 projects that proved there's always something interesting beyond the horizon. We regularly update this ranking, adding fresh releases and keeping only games where the world is packed with events. From fantasy sagas to harsh post-apocalypse — choose your next world."

Exactly five years have passed since the release of Cyberpunk 2077. Many still remember the overwhelming hype that surrounded its launch, followed by the turning point when excitement gave way to disappointment and frustration over the game’s issues. CD Projekt RED did not abandon the project and spent several years actively releasing patches. The culmination arrived with Update 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty expansion, which ultimately salvaged the game’s reputation. They launched back in 2023, yet even after that Cyberpunk 2077 continued to receive updates. The fact that the game today is vastly superior to its launch version is no secret. Still, for the anniversary, let’s examine just how much it has changed over five years and whether CDPR ultimately delivered the dream RPG fans had been promised long before release.

Although the release of the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 is not expected in the near future, the very fact that this popular RPG is getting a follow-up has long ceased to be a secret. CD Projekt RED openly confirms the existence of Cyberpunk 2, also known as Project Orion, and even shares development status updates during financial reports. On top of that, the internet is full of rumors, leaks, and fan theories concerning the sequel. You will find the key details in this article.

DLC is a great way to extend your enjoyment of your favorite games and gain new experiences. We've compiled a selection of the best story-driven expansions that expand on the original games. They're definitely worth every gamer's attention.

In the vast majority of story-driven video games, we control one character. But in some of them, the developers change the main character right during the game, after which the story is told from his point of view. Such decisions are not always liked by fans, but they greatly refresh the series. Our article is devoted to such examples.

As strange as it may sound, terrifying scenes in games that aren’t actually horror titles can often leave a stronger impression than full-blown horror games. Maybe it’s the contrast against the rest of the experience, or perhaps it’s just the element of surprise. After all, when you launch a horror game, you’re mentally prepared for what’s to come. In this article, we’re highlighting the most unexpectedly frightening moments in games that aren’t technically part of the horror genre.

The last month of spring is coming to an end, and we have collected for you the most beautiful cosplay works of recent times. We present to your attention Princess Leia from Star Wars, Emma Frost from Marvel Rivals, Catwoman and many others. Connoisseurs of rare images can pay attention to Vivian Ward from the film Pretty Woman and Catherine Ironfist from Heroes of Might and Magic 3: The Restoration of Erathia.

Today, developing video games is an incredibly labor-intensive and extremely costly process. Of course, there are indie projects still made by just a handful of people, like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, developed by relatively small teams. However, the creation of ambitious AAA releases with cutting-edge graphics has long been comparable to the production of the most expensive movies. To give you an idea of the scale of these budgets, we've compiled a list of games with truly astronomical production costs.

22 most beautiful games with ray tracing share one thing: an RTX graphics card finally shows what it can really do, because lighting, reflections, and shadows are calculated with physical accuracy instead of being faked through rasterization. We've rounded up 22 of the best — from titles where RT can't be switched off at all, to flagships with full path tracing, to classics that ray tracing transformed beyond recognition. When the technology first showed up in 2018, plenty of people wrote it off as a marketing gimmick — dozens of games on this list prove they were wrong.

The internet reacted ambivalently to yesterday’s presentation of Nintendo’s new console, which showcased several games and revealed key details about the device. There’s plenty of criticism aimed at the Switch 2 — and gamers’ reactions partially echo the widespread outrage following the disastrous Xbox One conference at E3 2013. So what caused the negativity this time? Let’s break it down point by point.

The first month of spring is coming to an end, and we have collected for you the most striking cosplay of this time. We present to your attention Gemma from Monster Hunter Wilds, Queen Marika from Elden Ring, Ada Wong from Resident Evil 4, Orin from Baldur's Gate 3 and many others. Connoisseurs of truly rare images can pay attention to the charming courtesan from the second Assassin's Creed.

The most demanding PC games aren't poorly optimized games — they're projects that honestly load powerful hardware in the name of real technology and real visuals. The difference is fundamental, and this top sticks to it strictly. A demanding game taxes a top-tier graphics card and CPU because it's showing off expensive tech: path tracing and full ray tracing, Nanite and Lumen on Unreal Engine 5, dense world simulation, the streaming of vast open spaces with no loading screens. For every frame it spends, it pays you back in a picture you can actually see — on a flagship system these projects work as a showcase of what a PC can do, and they're also the best-looking games around right now. Crysis once set the bar, and "but can it run it?" became a meme for years. Today there are dozens of such games. As for the ones that drop frames equally on any hardware and give you neither photorealism nor a wow factor in return — that's not about being demanding, that's about bad optimization, and we've got a separate top of the most optimized games for them.

After the release of update 2.1 and the Phantom Liberty expansion for Cyberpunk 2077, many players decided to return to CD Projekt RED's latest project. You can make it even better with user modifications. We have collected the most interesting ones in this article.
