Surprisingly Cyberpunk 2077 Working Good on Google Stadia Why?
From launch, Google Stadia give importance to the Release of Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk allows you two different visual settings in Stadia. For performance mode, it let you chose 1080p quality with 60 Frames Per Second. It gives you an awesome performance without any lag or pause. For resolution quality, it offers 2160p with 30 Frames Per Second mode. That gives you detailed image quality. But you won’t feel any difference by selecting any of these modes; it sinks you in the world that the CD project has created. You can play up to 1440p in Google Chrome.
You must Note that Stadia, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One X versions have the in-game graphics settings whereas, PS5 doesn’t have these settings, and it hits the 60 FPS at a low resolution, as pointed out by Verge in an update. Some of the players also reported that they played Cyberpunk 2077 on Stadia for straight 4 hours with a constant frame rate of 60 FPS, and it never dropped below 55 FPS with a Latency Rate of 20ms for the entire session.
Another big reason for Stadia’s popularity is that you don’t need to wait for a long download or install it. You buy the game, and the next moment, you are in the game and preparing your character. You also play the same Desktop level Stadia games on mobiles.
