Cyberpunk 2077 packs a lot of fun into its discounted $20 price

CyberPunk 2077’s world is vibrant and dangerous. | Image: CD Projekt Red Over the last few years, CD Projekt Red put a ton of work into fixing Cyberpunk 2077, squashing bugs, polishing content, and even launching new DLC in 2023, Phantom Liberty. As a result, this game has gone from a source for funny, glitch-fueled videos to a world I’ve returned to a number of times to live out my futuristic fantasies. A big discount happening across almost all platforms makes it a lot more accessible.Usually $59.99 for the standard edition, the game is priced at $17.99 at Steam. Its Ultimate Edition, which includes the Phantom Liberty DLC (usually $29.99 on its own), is discounted to $33.10. Xbox has the standard edition for $17.99 (usually $59.99), and the Ultimate Edition for $33.60 (usually $79.99). Sony is selling the base game for PS4 and PS5 for $19.99 (usually $49.99), while the Ultimate Edition on PS5 is $35.49 (usually $70.99).GameStop sells pre-owned physical copies of Cyberpunk 2077 for $18.99 for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 (we can’t link directly to the pre-owned copies, so you’ll have to manually select the option). The older copies will automatically upgrade to their current-generation versions for free when played on an Xbox Series S/X or PlayStation 5.

It’s generous to say that the ambitious RPG was only a bit buggy at launch. In fact, its performance issues were glaring enough to cause both Sony and Microsoft to offer extended refunds. After all the bug fixes and improvements, the game is now a commonly-used performance benchmark for PC and console gaming. While its most advanced ray tracing modes are reserved for few platforms, it’s a visually-stunning game no matter where you play it. Plus, continued updates have given players more options for getting the most out of their time in Night City.

I ditched my Raspberry Pi and built a DIY NAS with a cheap rival SBC

Putting together a Network-Attached Storage server is a popular intermediate-level project for Raspberry Pi tinkerers, and for good reason. A backup rig that barely sips any power and remains small enough to be carried eveyrwhere sounds really neat on paper. That said, its utility starts to shrink when you factor...

I connected a local LLM to a $30 ESP32 display, and it designs a new screen for every question I ask

Most smart displays come with a fixed set of screens, and you get whatever the team behind the firmware happened to think of. Usually that's a clock, the weather, a calendar, and after that you're stuck with it. I've used a few of these over the years and the pattern's...

I switched from a smart TV to an Android box, and I actually own my entertainment now

Getting the TV I want with the right specs means settling for whatever operating system it runs. However, the OS that ships on smart TVs is typically slower and more limited than any modern streaming device I plug in. TVs come with a locked-down home screen, ads, and a limited...

I tried VS Code, Cursor, and Devin Desktop for a month and I have a clear winner for you

AI coding tools have changed so quickly that choosing the right one no longer feels as simple as picking a familiar editor and installing a few extensions. Over the past month, I have rotated between VS Code, Cursor, and Devin Desktop for my everyday coding work to see how each...

I turned on IPv6 to future-proof my network, and it quietly wrecked my latency

In my latest move a few months ago, I had to transition to a new ISP, and with that transition came the dreaded carrier grade NAT jail cell. My IPv4 was essentially blocked from self-hosting anything I expected to be accessible from outside my home network, but the good news...

Doodle generative compositions in your browser with Musical Spirograph

So pretty. | Screenshot: Terrence O’Brien / The Verge I remember having a Spirograph as a kid and being obsessed with it. Its geometric patterns are hypnotic and gorgeous. I also love generative music composition. So bringing those two things together in a browser tab, I'm hooked. Musical Spirograph is...

Your motherboard ships with the wrong fan curve, and fixing it takes 30 seconds

Most gamers these days know that they need to fix several default settings before their PC is ready to rumble. Enabling XMP/EXPO, changing the refresh rate in Windows, and enabling PBO on AMD chips are relatively well-known. However, many users still don't touch the default fan curves in the BIOS,...

I gave Qwen 3.8 27B a reverse-engineering job I a**umed needed a frontier model, and it finished in 30 minutes

Qwen 3.8 27B was one of the most highly-anticipated open-weights releases that I've seen in a long time, and like many others, I immediately got to work testing it out and playing with it when it dropped. I'm running it on a single Lenovo ThinkStation PGX, the compact workstation built...

The tiny free PDF editor that changed how I edit files on Windows, Mac, and Linux

PDF editors are often too basic to be useful or overloaded with features, pop-ups, and subscription prompts. I wanted something lightweight that could handle the everyday jobs I actually care about, whether I was on a Windows desktop, MacBook Pro, or tinkering with a Linux machine in my home lab.

I replaced my router twice before realizing a 10-year-old cable was the real problem

Routers always take the immediate blame for bad Wi-Fi, when in fact there is a list of suspects that should be investigated. I learned this the hard way. After a lengthy stream of router troubleshooting and replacing the device twice, the real culprit behind my network bottleneck finally revealed itself:...

I moved my self-hosted library to Jellyfin while its future is argued about, because I own it either way

There has been a lot of talk in the self-hosted media community about Jellyfin's future. Some core team volunteers for the open-source project left, and development has stalled (ish). But past the headlines, it's clear that Jellyfin server and client development has continued to grow rapidly for an open-source project.
