Thanks to a new collaboration between developer CD Projekt Red and Opera GX, PC players' Cyberpunk 2077 experience is set to become even more immersive. Opera GX is launching a Cyberpunk 2077 hub that will allow fans to customize their browsers and engage with some of the game's features without even launching it.
Opera GX is a web browser designed specifically for the needs of a gaming PC, and as detailed by the company in a new blog post, the Cyberpunk 2077 GX corner hub is the first of a new feature rolling out to customers. The new release will allow users to fully embrace the Nighty City lifestyle with a custom browser that looks like it's straight from the game. Maciej Kocemba, Product Director at Opera GX, explained on the launch of the Cyberpunk 2077 hub:
"The feedback from the Cyberpunk 2077 mod made it clear that players wanted an even deeper connection between their games and the browser. That's why we decided to set a precedent and give fans what they really want: an immersive experience with the games they love. This new hub merges game features directly with Opera GX so that players can stay in the game's world even while browsing."
Opera GX users can customize browsers to their favorite games and limit certain features to ensure their PC runs smoothly while using the browser. The launch of the Cyberpunk 2077 hub is also a continuation of a customizable mod that initially brought Night City to Opera GX.
What Opera GX's Cyberpunk 2077 Theme Includes
Fans Of Night City Won't Ever Have To Leave
The Cyberpunk 2077 hub is free to Opera GX users and accessible from the GX corner home page. The hub gives easy access to news and developer streams alongside the game's official score. Fans can also plot their course through Night City before a session by using an interactive world map, allowing them to see their favorite locations from Night City and potentially making it easier to discover hard-to-find details in Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberware has received a major overhaul in Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.0. Here are some of the best new and reworked Cyberware implants V should use.
The Cyberpunk 2077 hub will also be a lore resource for Cyberpunk 2077 players, as it contains a game booklet to catch up on key points about Night City straight from the developers. Fans can also plan their next build in the game based on guides provided by CD Projekt Red without having to launch the character creator. With Cyberpunk 2077's latest 2.2 update fleshing out more customization options, this feature could help streamline the approach to making a new save. The soundtrack inclusion is also a major feature of the hub. As the blog explains:
"[Users] can now browse with the full Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack playing in the background, have webpages displayed in the dystopian Cyberpunk 2077 style, and get direct access to streams, modding guides, news from the game and much more – all within the browser."
