@@pierrenoss4351 yeah. I am playing on older ps4 and I am having a good time. Textures may not be good looking on longer distances. But I am not complaining
The slow-mo ability is an implant in the retail, it takes the place of your hacking deck. And weirdly enough in the Maelstrom mission, in my playthrough, they did use the spotlight, and Jackie had line like "They try to spook us" or something like that.
in the reveal trailer they did say it is kerenzikov, and in the game it is also called kerenzikov and that is a nervous system implant, there are a few other slowmotion implants that take place in your cyberdeck too though
Sandy makes you move fast too, kerenzikov is just slow motion. Maybe it was changed so that instead of triggering manually it'd only trigger when detected some time in development
Honestly this game seems pretty good, but I'm definitely going to wait until they iron out some bugs and I get my PC upgraded. There is no rush. I feel bad for the people who actually thought they'd get a good experience out of it on the old consoles.
@@Nick930 It might be. I actually had to redo that mission a second time from outside the building because all the savegames from inside the building caused cyberpunk to crash to desktop. There's also the possibility of things panning out different depending on the choices you make beforehand... We'll know the answer to that in a few months time and (knowing CDPR) twenty/thirty patches.
It’s not actually, it seems to be time/light dependant as I’ve had both happen on one save that was reloaded with the mission done at different times. If it’s dark outside, he flashes you and if it’s bright he doesn’t.
@@DeeRockUK How is an event that triggers due to certain requirements a glitch? The mission still progresses with or without the event triggering and it's done as an environmental thing that is dependent on when you do the mission.

I'd like say a few notes, the spotlight gang member does indeed still blind you with the spot light. At least on console versions. Also that animation where jackie lifts up the car to avoid getting shot, was moved to a cyberpsycho mission. :)
Yeah, he’s comparing apples to oranges. I highly doubt the original demo was using ray tracing and other special effects. Part of the reason it’s so buggy is because they upscaled it for high end PCs and ruined it for console players and low to medium PCs.
Damn he didn't do that to me. These bugs really out here ruining the experience. That moment with jackie in the car was ruined cause his animation werent loading up for me lol
@@MarkNealon I am fine with the bad AI. I'd much rather they flesh out more stories. Even with good AIs, the game wouldn't be a sandbox game (too few interactions with the encironment in general), so why waste the effort?
@@momoware I mean I'm fine with the bad AI during fights, but for example the driving AI is unbearably horrible - if they even have AI...I mean they can't do anything really, not even drive around obstacles. Just breaks all immersion.
CDPR really put a lot into this game, it sucks that they botched the launch. Now we'll always feel like the game is buggy and unoptimised and overlook the great storytelling
Sad but true. It has a very distinct taste to it. But I will give them a chance, since they delivered a fine piece of work with Witcher 3. I know they have the ability to do much better and with all that Corona-Panic, most of the devs had probably a lot of real life struggles to deal with too. But nevertheless I am very disappointed.
@@imkirbo3094 The game dropped in a very buggy state. It barely runs on the base consoles and has crashed multiple times on my ps4. I was hyped for the game like most people. But I am very disappointed that with all they had it still dropped with glitches which will kill immersion. It's a great game obviously, but I'd rather they postpone it until February and fix most issues than drop it in the state it was.
I'm a little bummed out by the crowd density, its a heavy hit to most CPU's but I really hope they add an update in the future to crank it up for pc players who can run it
I don't know if it's true but I heard the crowd density is based off the speed of your SSD. So with new gen 4 SSD's hitting the market soon, hopefully there'll be a big improvement.
@@ALifeOfWine I get 20% higher fps with crowd density at low and I´m pretty sure that is an cpu bottlneck, because I have a rtx 3070 and nvme 970 evo plus. You need a 8 core 16 thread cpu for high crowd density.
15:45 they have that spot light sequence in the final game,but it depends on the time you doing that mission, if u doing the mission in day time it won't trigger the sequence
I do love that generally the quality of things like textures has overall seemed to improve but I quite liked the sort of slightly washed out look on many surfaces which has been replaced with what feels like an overuse of oversaturation instead. The game world itself also feels a lot less 'alive' to me than the reveal, the scanning seemed a little better before the NPC's a little more like real people, and that hacking system would have been stellar for immersion instead of the quite generic system that exists but overall it feels like a real achievement from what I have seen, if they can fix the problems it could really shape up to be memorable.
One thing from the demo. When T-Bug and Meredith are on the phone - it's a live scene. You can see them, the background and objects. Whereas in the game it's just a render of the person your talking to
In a lot of games, characters on Monitors or UI Characters are often Live rendered from a different camera. It would not suprise me if in the final game they had the character beeing rendered out of bounds and Pasted on the screen. But it could also be a video file to save some ressources, i don't know for sure of course.
18:32 that scripted action Jackie does in the demo is actually in the game... But it's not performed by the same character, nor is it in the same quest. I found this same action in one of the Cyberpsycho side gigs where the psycho has a pretty similar mech suit like Royce's' and another guy flips a car to take cover from the psycho's gunfire. Cool little detail but implemented completely differently in the retail version.
I put 112 hrs on my first playthrough on PC and I loved every second of it. I did experience some janky bugs but nothing major (game never crashed, I was not locked out of game progress). I really hope more people give it a chance again once CDPR fixes performance issues on old consoles and see it for the fantastic game it truly is.
Ehhh the game is mediocre overall even in its current patched up state. There just isn't enough there to interest me. Shame because I absolutely love all of their previous games.
@@JudeTheTH-camPoopersubscribe Fax I love the game, but that doesn’t stop me from seeing that they did not deliver. They were way too ambitious and it’s obvious, a game with so much “freedom” ended up having Jack squat in it. There’s nothing much in the world that makes you feel like V. Like someone just trying to make it in a vast city of dreams and failures. The missions capture it pretty well. Not much else
@Supreme Gentleman Yep I noticed that too. The AI is absolutely fucked. The way they react, the positions in which they find cover and the worst of it is they do not work in sync AT ALL. Everybody is on alert if you don't headshot kill the enemy in stealth even if you kill him in two shots without him even possibly being able to relay a message before he dies but you can still pick them off one by one with headshots despite them being 3 feet from eachother and on high alert because they don't act organically. I'm just starting to rant now but this game is tough to love and I've given it more than a fair chance. This is nowhere near The Witcher 3 in terms of quality imo.
@@tonybleau6219 i was driving home yesterday from work talking myself out of continuing playing the game. and the conclusion i reached is that this is not even closer to withcher 3. looks great (at times when there are no graphical bugs) but AI just ruins it and if i continue playing (im just after the prollogue) i will eventually just get frustrated, loose my immersion and stop playing. then i wont be able to go back to it no matter what they do as i would have lost interest. really, its a shame. this the lack of AI, coodination, reation, teleportation of police, driving AI ... all of it just kills the game for in in its current state and i agree with @Supreme Gentleman above, it will need an entire rework to sort out and that ain happening any time soon.
@@onionsbroccoli-on6jf yes. but my biggest gripe is the lack of AI. i cannot play the game like this. i feel like im just going through the motions. no soul.
@Andrew Vester i only got in the car once. i didnt play enough before i stopped. didnt want it to scare me so i let the game go. i will wait 6-12 months before trying again.
Only played an hour on ps5. Right before ripperdoc. So far so good. Visuals, gunplay, etc. I tend to not want to listen to reviews. I know the bugs are a disappointment but that will be handled in time. Peolle saying the guns don't react well Imo, are crazy. The tutorial I couldn't believe the sound and kickback. Then again I have a Sonos surround sound but agile sounded official
Kereznikov isn’t definitely in the game it’s part of your nervous system augments I believe. You can also get Sandevistan in your OS slot which is a cool down ability that slows down time on command for much longer than kerez bursts. You can’t hack with that OS though
Wait, you think there's lots to do? O.o Sure there's lots of side missions but that's it. Where's the car customization? In-game character customization? Collection side quests? Minigames for the arcade machines? Apartment customization? People to interact with outside of quest givers? I'm only just getting into the racing and shooting so maybe there's that to add but geez. There's so much they could have done.
@@royalpain6338 you didn't even play the game. your choices greatly affect the outcome of many quests and you can avoid or cause entire huge fights just by a dialog choice. Also, dialog choices don't define RPGs, it's just a system that can be used, or else by your definition, all mmorpgs are not rpgs because they don't have dialog choices that change the outcome, or even classic tabletop rpgs because they don't have dialog choices that changes the outcome, and almost depends on the roll of the dice.
@@Shadi_Wajed Played through the whole game and no just about every quest you do and anything you choose doesn't matter in the slightest, gun down both the gangsters near rivers truck he just says he has to do extra paperwork and you ride off to the same location as if you had done things his way. No matter what you pick you get the same endings, the super secret one where you get 70% rep with Johnny is just the same as the legend ending the only difference is that one character is not dead by the end of it, it all feels really cut and dry. Also you know what the R in rpg stands for right? It stands for Role playing, but in this game you don't get to play your own character you make through your own decisions or backstory you play as a character with a set personality no matter what backstory you pick V will always be at the same point after the prolog. Also even cdpr thinks i am right as they quietly changed the description of the game without telling anyone a few months before release. Still i gotta admit is funny to me all the people that claimed they played the game about how fucked up large companies are and they should not get away with doing what they do then go on to defend a corporation that lied through their teeth to deliver a product that was fundamentally broken.
@@royalpain6338 Almost in every RPG your backstory "life path" has just a minimal effect on the story, usually dialogue options and how some characters are going to interact with you. it just serves as a background, it even used to be just a text you read when you create your character, in CP77 you have 10-20 minutes of playable prologue of your life path, that's something very rare in games, please correct me if I'm mistaken and provide an example of a life path that greatly affect the story in a game. Choices are just a system in RPGs not a defining factor, as I said MMORPGs are still RPGs despite the lack of story changing choices in them, also classic table top rpgs. Give me an example of an MMORPG that has story or outcome changing choices in them, give me an example of a classic table top RPG with story changing choices in them. As for choices in CP77, your decisions affect the outcome in Clair's quest, your choices affect the outcome in Judy's quest, your choices affect the outcome of your part in Joshua's quest, your choices affect the outcome in The pickup quest, that'll even later will affect how you approach the "A like Supreme" quest, your choices affect whether Takemura lives or dies, and whether he's gonna join you in The Devil ending or not, your choices decides the fate of the Voodoo Boys. your decision can affect all the endings available, you can just have one ending available based on your choices, even the example you've mentioned of the ending, that still is an outcome changing choice, a character that dies because of your choice is an outcome that has changed based on your choices, what else do you want, the entire world changes? then it won't be a cyberpunk story, lol. Please go play some classic table top RPGs to know what RPGs are really about, the choices system became popular just recently and it's not a defining factor in the genre. Or maybe go play the Witcher, or maybe you also think the Witcher is not an RPG, lol. or Diablo? or Skyrim, or any ES game, including ESO, Baldur's gate maybe, or any D&D based game? are all those not RPGs by your definition? you are just an edgelord who needs to be angry about something, it's so obvious from your nickname.
Yeah the hacking in this game feels very simplified, I wish I could just have a perk that bypasses that easy puzzle of matching numbers. I’m over it and I’m not even in Act 2.
That is true, look how bad PS4 and Xbox One are struggling now. Even now the game is great, as long as you don't get bombarded with bugs, crashes, audio desync. mission/quest locked, misplayed NPC, etc it's a good game, just need those nastiest fixed and it will certainly live up to the hype. edit: This is from a PC copy perspective.
Almost 2 years late, but personally I think overall the version we got on release obviously looks and sounds far better yet there are certain details in the reveal that I wish made it into the final build. At the start of the hallway scene when T Bug calls for example. In the reveal you can clearly see her laying down in her netrunning chair and she appears to be fully animated. That's a very nice touch considering that phone calls in the final build, when you can see an animated head that is, it's pretty generic instead of being contextually appropriate.
nearly 1 year after your own comment, but even the part of looking and sounding better is dubious to me, even now. Yes, it is graphically better, but like you said, those little details go a LONG way to improve the experience's look and feel.
10:17 Guy in blue pants, pink hair, gold chain and no shirt magically POPS into existence even though the draw distance has people well into the background.
There's something about the daylight lightning of the 2018 version that makes it look better to me, sure the retail has more details and better LOD but I think it loses on the lighting. I think the shadows are too dark in retail.
I think the same, the 2018 version feels more alive, with a lot of npc, train, random flying vehicles and not too shiny. The facial animation are definitely better in the retail version tho
1) 12:46 the lightning is missing in the retail verson 2) 12:51 the lady looks pretty and realistic but on retail she looks like a plastic doll 24:49 the lightning and shadows r better in reveal 24:50 here the lightning is too bright on retail 1:28 the city looks more realistic otoh the city on retail looks somewhat too bright and empty
@@josephjackman3687 while reveals will always look better than the retail. performance is already an issue with retail and could be one of the main reasons why they had to downgrade. However it's important to note that CDPR is going for a semi-realistic style, not going for absolute realism as seen in the Witcher 3 so i'd say that while the Lighting is in fact lacking, i'd have to disagree that the new retextured faces is worse than the reveal.
@@josephjackman3687 some of these are usually bigger nit picks than cancel culture. Id say dex is probably the only one that makes sense but the environment is different
Looks like the event area needs to be fixed to trigger everytime the script ... I have rn my second run and at the first run it didn`t triggered, but on the second run it did
@@SagaciousNihilist You would've noticed, because V holds her hand up to block the overbearing spotlight. Unless that part of the script has been removed. Didn't happen for me.
Same thought. There are so many Blade Runner queues throughout the game. The ambient city sounds, River Ward who works for the NCPD, and “Joy” Toys just to name a few.
finally a game that had a visual upgrade instead of a downgrade - its just a pitty that its still 'broken'. hope they fix it asap because it really deserves it.
It turns out that this whole reveal was faked. It was all scripted. Nobody was playing the game. It was all a cutscene within the game. They didn’t have more than what you saw.
If it was a hardcoded scene it would be fine but imagine doing that every time you play, every time you fight, the current ping mechanic is better as a gameplay mechanic.
@@rickycool6083 I was firstly disappointed too and realized that this is really easier path, yet though they should have had left this here when you are hacking to the subnet for the first time, being in local subnet or whole districts subnet. Much more immersive in my opinion.

That scene with Meredith where you go alone in retail vs with Jackie in the demo, I actually quite liked the retail version, where you have been given the option of faking it. It adds a lot of tension toy our choices.
It's DRM free on Steam as well. I go to the install folder, run the .exe and it loads straight into the game. No CDPR's mini launcher, no Steam (doesn't show you playing it on Steam either). It runs by itself.. It's DRM free no matter where you get it.

The slow-mo ability is an implant in the retail, it takes the place of your hacking deck.
And weirdly enough in the Maelstrom mission, in my playthrough, they did use the spotlight, and Jackie had line like "They try to spook us" or something like that.
in the reveal trailer they did say it is kerenzikov, and in the game it is also called kerenzikov and that is a nervous system implant, there are a few other slowmotion implants that take place in your cyberdeck too though
Yes, I think OP was mixing up kerenzikov with sandevistan
Sandy makes you move fast too, kerenzikov is just slow motion. Maybe it was changed so that instead of triggering manually it'd only trigger when detected some time in development

Sad but true. It has a very distinct taste to it.
But I will give them a chance, since they delivered a fine piece of work with Witcher 3.
I know they have the ability to do much better and with all that Corona-Panic, most of the devs had probably a lot of real life struggles to deal with too. But nevertheless I am very disappointed.
The launch is fine.

I do love that generally the quality of things like textures has overall seemed to improve but I quite liked the sort of slightly washed out look on many surfaces which has been replaced with what feels like an overuse of oversaturation instead. The game world itself also feels a lot less 'alive' to me than the reveal, the scanning seemed a little better before the NPC's a little more like real people, and that hacking system would have been stellar for immersion instead of the quite generic system that exists but overall it feels like a real achievement from what I have seen, if they can fix the problems it could really shape up to be memorable.
The reveal is basically the game without ray tracing
@@gtas321 the demo did not have screen spaced reflections plus textures looked worse
My thoughts exactly. It lost an enormous amount of its vibe, and that is also bc the 3rd camera cutscenes were removed.
Hey man! Been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now. I love your content, keep up the good work!
One thing from the demo.
When T-Bug and Meredith are on the phone - it's a live scene. You can see them, the background and objects. Whereas in the game it's just a render of the person your talking to
it's not really a live scene
In a lot of games, characters on Monitors or UI Characters are often Live rendered from a different camera. It would not suprise me if in the final game they had the character beeing rendered out of bounds and Pasted on the screen. But it could also be a video file to save some ressources, i don't know for sure of course.
18:32
that scripted action Jackie does in the demo is actually in the game... But it's not performed by the same character, nor is it in the same quest.
I found this same action in one of the Cyberpsycho side gigs where the psycho has a pretty similar mech suit like Royce's' and another guy flips a car to take cover from the psycho's gunfire.
Cool little detail but implemented completely differently in the retail version.
I put 112 hrs on my first playthrough on PC and I loved every second of it. I did experience some janky bugs but nothing major (game never crashed, I was not locked out of game progress). I really hope more people give it a chance again once CDPR fixes performance issues on old consoles and see it for the fantastic game it truly is.

Now they've gotta fix the AI then we'll have the game we've been waiting for
@Supreme Gentleman Yep I noticed that too. The AI is absolutely fucked. The way they react, the positions in which they find cover and the worst of it is they do not work in sync AT ALL. Everybody is on alert if you don't headshot kill the enemy in stealth even if you kill him in two shots without him even possibly being able to relay a message before he dies but you can still pick them off one by one with headshots despite them being 3 feet from eachother and on high alert because they don't act organically. I'm just starting to rant now but this game is tough to love and I've given it more than a fair chance. This is nowhere near The Witcher 3 in terms of quality imo.
@@tonybleau6219 i was driving home yesterday from work talking myself out of continuing playing the game. and the conclusion i reached is that this is not even closer to withcher 3. looks great (at times when there are no graphical bugs) but AI just ruins it and if i continue playing (im just after the prollogue) i will eventually just get frustrated, loose my immersion and stop playing. then i wont be able to go back to it no matter what they do as i would have lost interest.
really, its a shame. this the lack of AI, coodination, reation, teleportation of police, driving AI ... all of it just kills the game for in in its current state and i agree with @Supreme Gentleman above, it will need an entire rework to sort out and that ain happening any time soon.

As for choices in CP77, your decisions affect the outcome in Clair's quest, your choices affect the outcome in Judy's quest, your choices affect the outcome of your part in Joshua's quest, your choices affect the outcome in The pickup quest, that'll even later will affect how you approach the "A like Supreme" quest, your choices affect whether Takemura lives or dies, and whether he's gonna join you in The Devil ending or not, your choices decides the fate of the Voodoo Boys. your decision can affect all the endings available, you can just have one ending available based on your choices, even the example you've mentioned of the ending, that still is an outcome changing choice, a character that dies because of your choice is an outcome that has changed based on your choices, what else do you want, the entire world changes? then it won't be a cyberpunk story, lol. Please go play some classic table top RPGs to know what RPGs are really about, the choices system became popular just recently and it's not a defining factor in the genre. Or maybe go play the Witcher, or maybe you also think the Witcher is not an RPG, lol. or Diablo? or Skyrim, or any ES game, including ESO, Baldur's gate maybe, or any D&D based game? are all those not RPGs by your definition? you are just an edgelord who needs to be angry about something, it's so obvious from your nickname.

Almost 2 years late, but personally I think overall the version we got on release obviously looks and sounds far better yet there are certain details in the reveal that I wish made it into the final build. At the start of the hallway scene when T Bug calls for example. In the reveal you can clearly see her laying down in her netrunning chair and she appears to be fully animated. That's a very nice touch considering that phone calls in the final build, when you can see an animated head that is, it's pretty generic instead of being contextually appropriate.
nearly 1 year after your own comment, but even the part of looking and sounding better is dubious to me, even now. Yes, it is graphically better, but like you said, those little details go a LONG way to improve the experience's look and feel.

@@josephjackman3687 while reveals will always look better than the retail. performance is already an issue with retail and could be one of the main reasons why they had to downgrade. However it's important to note that CDPR is going for a semi-realistic style, not going for absolute realism as seen in the Witcher 3 so i'd say that while the Lighting is in fact lacking, i'd have to disagree that the new retextured faces is worse than the reveal.
@@Stockinzs may be they need proper optimisation for the game
@@josephjackman3687 some of these are usually bigger nit picks than cancel culture. Id say dex is probably the only one that makes sense but the environment is different
The maelstrom guy did flash spot light on me during my playthrough
Looks like the event area needs to be fixed to trigger everytime the script ... I have rn my second run and at the first run it didn`t triggered, but on the second run it did
I didnt even notice, was too busy, keeping an eye on potential loot..
@@SagaciousNihilist You would've noticed, because V holds her hand up to block the overbearing spotlight.
Unless that part of the script has been removed. Didn't happen for me.
For me I had the dialogue saying they were trying to intimidate but I didn't see anything. I was wondering what they meant with that line.
Me too
11:20 Tell that to V's bald shadow lol.
"population density"
People who use ps4 and xbox one"
"Go back to sleep samurai";we got a city to render
haha
Johnny just closes your eyes
Holy sh- thank you so much for this video dude I’ve been waiting for this since cyberpunk came out.
The amount of times I thought I was in a cutscene while playing this game is just astounding... man does it look phenomenal
tbh most of the gameplay makes me wish it _was_ just a cutscene... would be better as a CGI anime.
@@TheDrewker You might want to reword that last part. Have you seen a CGI anime? Look no further than the Blade Runner anime to see why.
15:47 They added that detail back in patch 1.6
LOL is this the 1st AAA game where Retails is better and NOT downgraded than Reveal ? I'm impressed.
No, check out Doom 2016
red dead redemption 2
9:41 they made it look more like blade runner, when deckerd goes to buy food at a stall
Agree
Same thought. There are so many Blade Runner queues throughout the game. The ambient city sounds, River Ward who works for the NCPD, and “Joy” Toys just to name a few.
finally a game that had a visual upgrade instead of a downgrade - its just a pitty that its still 'broken'. hope they fix it asap because it really deserves it.
For forgot the most important comparison, it actually ran when they showed it!
I feel like the blurring on the reveal trailer is from video compression, they also used a different focal length for the player camera.
I'm so early, I can't even pretend I've watched the entire video yet.
I mean in that first mission, it starts with a 3rd person view cutscene showing off V. That was also removed from the game, right?
It turns out that this whole reveal was faked. It was all scripted. Nobody was playing the game. It was all a cutscene within the game. They didn’t have more than what you saw.
They said in the start of that demo that it's a work in progress and things are subject to change.
@@Denders-NL How it was faked when it's literally in the game and you play through it in the beginning. Also, have you even watched the video?

@@discoduck3785 lol, keep telling yourself that, maybe you'll believe it.
The retail version is just all teal and yellow basically. Everything has a blue/green tint to it. Reveal version had much more natural colors.
The graphics are quite nice and all, but I'm still disappointed that hacking got cut 17:38
If it was a hardcoded scene it would be fine but imagine doing that every time you play, every time you fight, the current ping mechanic is better as a gameplay mechanic.
@@rickycool6083 I was firstly disappointed too and realized that this is really easier path, yet though they should have had left this here when you are hacking to the subnet for the first time, being in local subnet or whole districts subnet. Much more immersive in my opinion.
@@Corpsehider Would have prefered the muffled gun shot in that cooler on that scavenger. Now its just neck breaking every person in stealth.
Well, you can say a lot about this game. But Sound Design is on point.
I've been looking forward to this
15:45 - I don't know if it's a random thing but he actually blinded me there in my playthrough.
UBISOFT GRAPHIC DESIGNERS HAS LEFT THE CHAT..😂
@@seahawkd5203 Their CPU recommendations are even worse. Anyone on a 4 core CPU (most of the folks on Steam) is going to have a bad time in this game.
Ubisoft was amazing back in the day
Atleast ubisoft can actually make functional AI and make the core gameplay mechanics actually fun...
joshua McIlvenny yeah Cos watchdogs legion was fun
@@seahawkd5203 I don’t understand why are you advising a 1000 series bro ,2000 series and 3000 series are out and you are still buying a 1000 series ? I know that 3000 series are out of stock but there is still stock in 2000 series
Cant wait to play the fixed version
CDPR did an amazing job with the lighting
not so much the AI.
@@politicalprophecyuk They will fix the AI, don't worry.
@@АлександърТренчев-э2я sometimes the characters move around weird or lag and it looks really weird but the game is really fun
That scene with Meredith where you go alone in retail vs with Jackie in the demo, I actually quite liked the retail version, where you have been given the option of faking it. It adds a lot of tension toy our choices.
The curtain blowing on the right when they land at 19:30 doesn’t move in the retail version
The E3 dialogue also sounds way better
It's DRM free on Steam as well. I go to the install folder, run the .exe and it loads straight into the game. No CDPR's mini launcher, no Steam (doesn't show you playing it on Steam either). It runs by itself.. It's DRM free no matter where you get it.
