In this way, on Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5 we will be able to play the current generation version on the new consoles. In the absence of specifying how the experience will improve (presumably shorter load times) and if there will be some kind of jump in terms of FPS rate, what is guaranteed is that Cyberpunk 2077 will have Smart Delivery in the Microsoft ecosystem (You buy the game once and run the best version of the console you use) and free update also on PS5 when we get our copy of PS4.

“Almost like a launch game, right?” Says CD Projekt on social media. Yes, but only half. It is important to emphasize that the authentic version of Cyberpunk 2077 for PS5 and Xbox Series will not be released until next year 2021, so that the edition that we play this November in the new domestic proposals from Sony and Microsoft will be a current generation version. If we decide to wait directly for the next gen version, it will not be more expensive: it will cost the same.
In the words of Adam Kicinski, president of CD Projekt, this past June, Cyberpunk 2077 will look better on PS5 and Xbox Series from day one: “To be honest, I don’t know when we’ll release that update, we haven’t decided yet, but we are sure it will be next year. In any case, you can play the title on the new consoles when they come out and it will look better on them from that moment on. “
Cyberpunk 2077 will be released worldwide on November 19 for PS4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC. We already know the minimum and recommended system requirements for a computer; they will soon offer these requirements in ultra quality. Regarding the campaign, the main interest for those not interested in the future multiplayer mode, they assure that it will be less long than that of The Witcher 3.
