Cyberpunk 2077 Launched on Linux

Cyberpunk 2077 has firmly established itself in the tops of news resources, and tests and graphics comparisons in this project are definitely becoming mainstream, especially the war between console graphics and visuals on powerful PCs. It seems that this topic has exhausted all the news feeds and told even more than you can tell. But no one has tried to run a scandalous project on Linux yet.

It’s not fun to play cyberpunk just like that. Launching and playing Linux is another matter. Fortunately, for such things, the developers of Valve came up with Proton. It is a software for running applications on Linux that require DirectX libraries. Surprisingly, the game works, and some even manage to play it.

However, the game often crashes or crumbles into textures. For most enthusiasts, it won’t even start.

Nevertheless, after the developers of the emulator completely update the libraries, and the manufacturers of video cards drivers, the situation with the launch of cyberpunk on Linux should improve. In the meantime, Valve declares the normal compatibility of the project only with Radeon video cards. Although you can customize something on Nvidia.

Some even show working gameplay on video.

It’s amazing that such a demanding and weighty project runs on an unsupported operating system, and even through an emulator. Moreover, the video above shows an example of the game running on a laptop with a Ryzen 7 4800H processor and an RTX 2060 Mobile graphics card.
