Epilepsy charity ask Cyberpunk 2077 to rethink seizure risks
After one Cyberpunk 2077 reviewer suffered a seizure during a particularly visually-intense section of the game, an epilepsy charity have called for CD Projekt Red to consider updating the game in response. It’s perhaps not surprising that the dystopian RPG has garish nightclubs and computer glitches, but one particular gadget bears flashing lights with a dangerously striking resemblance to medical devices used to intentionally trigger seizures. Yeah, this might be a problem, Epilepsy Action say.
Update: CDPR say they’re working on it, with both an extra warning and tentative plans for “a more permanent solution”. More info below.
