    Cyberpunk 2077 will not stop working on hard drives, but the company will stop active support and testing of the game on the HDD. Ultimately, players may encounter performance issues or bugs.

    so not an actual hard requirement, but more like an indication that it won’t work as intended.

      Personally, I still consider SSDs too expensive compared to HDDs, especially considering the space that modern games take up. A dedicated 1TB SSD (around $50 at a good price) can hold maybe 10 games these days.

    Can’t really expect developers to account for 100× slower file loads with maps and assets streaming in, so it makes sense. SSDs aren’t really less available either. The only issue is that games these days are enormous in terms of disk space requirements.
