Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 and Xbox Series X update: what we know so far
The Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 and Xbox Series X update release looks to be imminent — and it's about time.
Cyberpunk 2077 was first released back in December 2020 for PS4, Xbox One and PC, but its launch was turbulent, to say the least. Developer CD Projekt Red's open-world action-RPG received a mixed reception upon release, with critics praising its narrative and world-building. However, game-breaking bugs and performance issues (particularly on console) saw the game removed from the PlayStation Store, refunds being offered by the Microsoft and PlayStation Stores and the developer subject to class-action lawsuits over allegedly not being transparent about the game's technical issues.
In response to the controversy, CD Projekt Red officially apologized and has since rolled out a plethora of hotfixes and patches to the game (as well as publishing four different roadmaps). But perhaps the biggest update on the horizon is the release of Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 and Xbox Series X versions, which will bring give Night City a next-gen upgrade and will (hopefully) see all the pesky bugs and performance issues that have plagued the game finally ironed out thanks to a «major update» that will release alongside these versions.
And it looks like the next-gen upgrade is imminent as the last roadmap from CD Projekt RED showed the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions as arriving in Q1 2022. What's more, CD Projekt Red is set to host a live stream on February 15, where we expect the developer will announce an official release date for the upgrade — and detail its improvements. Some rumors are even suggesting the stream will announce the launch of these next-gen versions — which will go live shortly after it ends.
