It recently came to light that Cyberpunk 2077 has some sections that could trigger epileptic seizures, and now developer CD Projekt Red has followed through on a promise to add a warning to the game about this. Reporter Elise Favis wrote on Twitter that the game now boots up with a warning regarding a risk of seizures.

The text states that Cyberpunk 2077 features a "variety of visual effects," some of which can provoke seizures or a loss of consciousness for some people.

"If you or someone you know experiences any of the above symptoms while playing, stop and seek medical attention immediately."
