From Reporting on Cyberpunk 2077's headset sequence
What was said about Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077's blinking LED headset sequence reportedly caused a journalist a major seizure. The sequence has the player put on a headset and face rapidly blinking LEDs. A journalist reported a major seizure during it, and the developer added a warning and is exploring permanent fixes.
The source frames it as a risk of flashing lights and colours, which "can be dangerous for those with epilepsy." Paradise Killer avoids the problem with an options toggle that turns flashing lights off, which shows the fix a studio can ship from the start.
