Just like normal ram, if you have more to use then it'll get used. It doesn't mean it requires more than 8gb in order to run well.

I played all of Cyberpunk on high settings with 8gb.

You're not wrong, but then there's games like this that need at least 6 gb (more on dx12) to run on low without it running out of memory and either crashing or not launching. This is an actual issue with this particular game.

Edit: Cyberpunk has gotten a lot better though and will run on things it has no business running on.
