PS5 and Xbox Series X set to get 'full-blown next-gen' Cyberpunk 2077 – but not at launch – TechRadar, TechRadar

PS5 vs Xbox Series X : what we know so far () It all makes sense now

has only officially been confirmed for Xbox Series X. CD Projekt Red previously confirmed that Cyberpunk will make use of the Series X’s Smart Delivery feature, offering players the chance to upgrade their Xbox One version of Cyberpunk to an Xbox Series X version for free – and now that decision makes a bit more sense. A CD Projekt Red spokesperson has confirmed to VGC that the “full-blown next-gen version” Nowakowski referred to is the previously Xbox Series X upgrade announced. That leads us to wonder whether this Smart Delivery feature has been implemented, as more games will need to take similar measures to game their games cross-gen. But what about Sony? CD Projekt seemed to suggest during the earnings call that Cyberpunk will be coming to PS5 – we can’t see why it wouldn’t – but that the company is waiting for Sony to make the announcement first. “There’s no official announcement coming from PlayStation so we really can’t confirm or deny anything,” Nowakowski said. “It’s PlayStation that first needs to address these issues and then we’re happy to make a comment, but we can’t jump the gun ahead of them.” But if CD Projekt Red is planning to release an upgraded version of Cyberpunk for next-gen consoles, and is planning to release on PS5, then Sony would likely need a feature similar to Smart Delivery to implement this – as it appears this patch is more than a simple update, and is instead a full-blown upgrade.

We can only speculate, but it would explain why Sony has held off confirming that the game is coming, perhaps until it itself reveals a forwards-compatibility feature. It also means that it could be worth fans holding out until the “proper, full-blo wn next-gen “edition is out – whenever that will be. (Good news)

However, due to closures of recording studios related to the Covid – pandemic, some voice work may need to be added to the game via a launch-day patch. Earlier this week, CD Projekt Red confirmed that Cyberpunk will have “no less DLC than The Witcher 3 had” (via VGC ). This DLC will be announced before the game’s release.
