FOV option for Console players PLZ!!

[GunsmithChaos]

I purchased Cyberpunk 2077 for console when the expanded edition was released, and I was shocked by how low the field of view (FOV) the game offered.

I tried to push through the overwhelming nausea and play somehow, but all my efforts were in vain.

I am a huge fan of FPS games and spend most of my gaming time playing them. For someone like me, Cyberpunk 2077 was the most frustrating experience.

I submitted feedback about this issue here as well, but all I got in response was essentially to not expect much from the console version.

Today, an update was released, and with a faint hope, I reinstalled and launched the game.
However, I uninstalled it again in less than two hours.

If the FOV issue is not resolved, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy this game.
I sincerely hope CDPR provides a FOV option for the console version.

I sincerely hope CDPR provides a FOV option for the console version.

It's just a guess, but I really think increasing the FOV will hit the performances which already are on the edge.
So, sadly I don't think it will happen

As @LeKill3rFou says, this will be a performance thing. The wider the field of view, the more the console has to render. If it's been restricted it's because the console can't render any wider with acceptable levels of performance.

I play on PC so don't know quite what the options are on console, but on PC you can put a permanent blue dot at the centre of the screen which might help a little with nausea. I don't know if there are options to change the level of camera responsiveness to smooth things out a little, also.

Yeah, I get you. I’ve had the same issue with low FOV in some games it just feels uncomfortable and sometimes even makes it hard to play.

I don’t really get why they can’t just add a simple slider, even if it’s limited. Probably performance reasons on console, but still, having some option would be way better than nothing.

Yes, it's performance reason... studios just can't add an option to their games (on console) which completely tanks the frame rate. To stick with the frame rate targets (30/60) it would require to also adjust other option to counter balance the performance hit which would be a nightmare.
