Cyberpunk 2077 is providing a significant enhancement to Samsung's glasses-free 3D gaming monitor.

      Samsung is broadening its Odyssey 3D support by incorporating more well-known games, aiming to make glasses-free 3D feel less like just a novelty.

      The Odyssey 3D gaming monitor by Samsung is receiving another prominent highlight. Cyberpunk 2077 will join the lineup of games that have dedicated support for Samsung's glasses-free 3D display technology, with the announcement confirmed alongside a new preview of Cronos: The New Dawn.

      Both titles are set to be showcased on the Odyssey 3D at Gamescom 2026. Samsung has been developing support through partnerships with game studios rather than applying a uniform 3D effect across all titles.

      The addition of Cyberpunk 2077 is particularly beneficial for the hardware. Players are already well-acquainted with the game, allowing them to assess whether the 3D effect enhances the experience or merely provides a fleeting visual spectacle during a demonstration.

      Why Cyberpunk 2077 is suitable

      The Odyssey 3D utilizes eye tracking and view mapping to create a stereoscopic effect without the need for glasses. While this concept sounds impressive theoretically, the monitor must deliver a convincing effect that compels players to keep using it.

      Cyberpunk 2077 serves as an effective showcase due to its expansive and visually rich environments. Familiarity with the game also makes it easier for players to perceive the changes brought by Samsung’s display instead of relying on their judgment of an unfamiliar demo.

      Samsung’s partnerships with studios ensure that specific games receive tailored support. This approach should grant the company better control over how the effect functions across different titles.

      What Samsung still needs to demonstrate

      The software situation has improved significantly. Earlier this year, Samsung indicated that Odyssey 3D already supports over 60 games and is projected to surpass 120 by the close of 2026.

      Cyberpunk 2077 arguably carries more significance than simply adding another title to the list. It provides Samsung with a game that PC players have utilized for years to showcase high-demand hardware and visual enhancements.

      Samsung must still demonstrate that sufficient players value dedicated 3D support enough to factor it into their decision when purchasing a monitor, rather than viewing it as a mere additional feature.

      The future of Odyssey 3D

      Digital Trends was already impressed by the Odyssey 3D when it was previewed at CES 2025, indicating that Samsung's challenge isn't solely to prove the effect works. Gamescom offers another opportunity to reveal why audiences might be interested.

      The more critical evaluation will occur afterward. Ongoing backing from recognizable titles would position Odyssey 3D as increasingly akin to an ecosystem rather than a mere display experiment.

      For the time being, Cyberpunk 2077 presents Samsung with one of its clearest chances to demonstrate to gamers why glasses-free 3D warrants another evaluation.

      The Odyssey G6 provides 600Hz at QHD and an impressive 1,100Hz mode at HD for competitive FPS gamers.

      Samsung has declared that 600Hz gaming monitors seem to be outdated.

      At Gamescom 2026, the company introduced its 27-inch Odyssey G6, which boasts a refresh rate that can reach 1,100Hz. This figure surpasses the previously announced maximum of 1,040Hz for the same monitor, although the company has not clarified what has changed.
