Cyberpunk 2077 patch modifies braindances following epilepsy warning

CD Projekt has issued a patch to Cyberpunk 2077 that modifies the braindances following an epilepsy warning.

This week, Eurogamer reported on UK charity Epilepsy Action’s call for an urgent update to Cyberpunk 2077 in response to a warning the game could be a trigger to those with epilepsy.

CD Projekt RPG was branded a potential epilepsy risk in a high-profile PSA article published by Game Informer based on a pre-release copy of the game.

That website’s reviewer, who has previously experienced epileptic seizures while playing other video games, said Cyberpunk 2077’s clubs and bars were “danger zones”, and that a flickering “glitch” effect around Keanu Reeves’ character Johnny Silverhand was something to be mindful of.
