An Irish charity has welcomed the news that a major video game developer is adding extra warnings to its latest game after claims were made that it had caused epileptic seizures.

Epilepsy Ireland said those with epilepsy photosensitivity should avoid Cyberpunk 2077 until the issue can be fixed. CD Projekt Red, who created the game, announced on Twitter that it was adding a separate warning in the game, aside from the one that exists in the end-user license agreement.
