Superpowered -v0.45.02- -night City Productions- Today

Tonight, I flew for twelve seconds before the game crashed. Twelve seconds of pure, unoptimized, illegally fast flight over a neon skyline that clipped into a void at the edges. It was the most alive I’ve felt in a game all year.

You wake up as Echo-7, a street-level telekinetic with a busted regulator and a rent bill due in 48 in-game hours. The previous builds (0.44.xx) were power fantasies. You could toss cars, stop bullets, ragdoll corpo-enforcers across the bridge district. This version? Your first throw of a trash can lid drains 18% of your stamina and alerts every TacDrone within 200 meters.

The morality system, previously a joke, now remembers. In v0.45.02, if you saved the courier in Act 1 (build 0.43.09), she shows up as a fence in the Black Market. If you let her die, her brother is now a mini-boss with a voice line that cuts: “You could have lifted the car. You chose not to.”

The loading screen hangs for exactly 4.2 seconds longer than it should. That’s the first tell. The second is the audio glitch—a cybernetic wheeze where the bass drop should hit. Welcome back to SuperPowered , build 0.45.02. Tonight, I flew for twelve seconds before the game crashed

Also, the new stealth takedown animation desyncs. You’ll snap a guard’s neck, and the ragdoll will T-pose for a full second, floating two feet off the ground. Night City Productions hasn’t fixed this since v0.41.00. At this point, it’s a feature.

This is the "low-power" pivot the devs warned about. You wake up as Echo-7, a street-level telekinetic

“Don’t report the T-pose bug. We like it.”

The physics engine has been rebuilt. Not upgraded. Rebuilt . When you rip a fire hydrant from the ground, the water pressure isn't just a particle effect anymore—it creates a temporary hazard zone that civilians slip on and enemies use for cover. One tester already posted a clip of flooding an entire subway car to short-circuit a Hunter-Killer. That’s new.
