CD Projekt Red does not regret making Cyberpunk 2077 a first-person game and believes it helped establish the game's unique identity. The developer is yet to decide whether the upcoming Cyberpunk 2, codenamed Orion, will have a third-person option.

A new study suggests that selfies may serve as a helpful way to capture the deeper meaning of moments, and when we use first-person photography, it is because we want to document a physical experience. The study involved six experiments with over 2,000 participants, and found that personal photos have the potential to help people reconnect to their past experiences and build their self-narratives. The researchers also found that people have very personal motives for taking photos, and that they like their photos more when there is a match between the photo perspective and their goal in taking the photo.
