Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is easily one of the biggest games of the year, despite a relatively rough launch. It has managed to sell 13 million copies despite the refunds and continues to sell more. It is still at the top of Steam’s best seller’s list weeks after launch, and this is during a Winter Sale, where Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t even discounted. If you are on PC and want to increase the Cyberpunk 2077 draw distance, here is how.

We are hoping that with the consistent flow of updates from CD Projekt Red, the game will become more stable over time. Even on PC, which is still the best platform to play it on, there are numerous bugs, often hilarious but rarely annoying too.

Increase the Cyberpunk 2077 Draw Distance

If you aren’t satisfied with how far the game renders objects, you can manually increase the draw distance as well. This is a safe tweak that you can disable later on as well if you think it is causing performance issues for you. If you have a decent system, this draw distance tweak really brings out the detail in Night City.

IMPORTANT: Before you go with this method, it is important to back up your save files. If you don’t know where those are, you can find out at this link.

To increase the draw distance, follow the steps below.
