Test Shows Cyberpunk 2077 Doesn't Quite Hit 4K on PS5 and Xbox Series X
In the world of video games, visual acuity is an important, though not always vital, aspect in development, especially when it comes to AAA releases. With current gen consoles like Xbox Series and PS5 aiming for 4K graphics at 60 fps, the current industry is in an advanced state in which it's possible to deliver the most realistic experience in terms of how games look.

However, it looks as though this latest iteration of CD Projekt Red's title falls short of that.
According to a recent video from Digital Foundry, the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 on the latest generation of consoles means there's an opportunity for the developer to «tap into the capabilities» of the systems that are currently out.

In other words, it looks as though players who are interested in the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X versions may be disappointed to find that it doesn't run at 4K resolution.
