Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 and Xbox Series X update: what we realize so far

The Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 and Xbox Series X update release appears to be impending - and it's approximately time.

Cyberpunk 2077 changed into first launched back in December 2020 for PS4, Xbox One and PC, but its launch changed into turbulent, to say the least. Developer CD Projekt Red's open-global movement-RPG received a blended reception upon launch, with critics praising its narrative and international-building. However, sport-breaking bugs and performance troubles (in particular on console) saw the game eliminated from the PlayStation Store, refunds being supplied with the aid of the Microsoft and PlayStation Stores and the developer difficulty to class-action complaints over allegedly no longer being transparent about the sport's technical problems. 

In response to the debate, CD Projekt Red officially apologized and has due to the fact rolled out a plethora of hotfixes and patches to the game (as well as publishing 4 extraordinary roadmaps). But perhaps the largest update at the horizon is the release of Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 and Xbox Series X variations, so one can convey deliver Night City a next-gen upgrade and will (with any luck) see all the pesky insects and performance troubles which have plagued the sport ultimately ironed out thanks to a "primary update" on the way to launch alongside those versions.

And it seems like the following-gen upgrade is impending because the remaining roadmap from CD Projekt RED showed the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions as arriving in Q1 2022. What's greater, CD Projekt Red is ready to host a stay circulation on February 15, wherein we count on the developer will announce an reputable launch date for the upgrade - and element its improvements. Some rumors are even suggesting the flow will announce the launch of those next-gen variations - so that you can move stay shortly after it ends.

CYBERPUNK 2077 PS5 AND XBOX SERIES X RELEASE DATE AND PLATFORMS

Cyberpunk 2077

The Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 and Xbox Series X variations will launch in "Q1 2022" (following a postpone from 2021), consistent with the most current roadmap from CD Projekt Red. These next-gen versions may be available as each a standalone release and as a loose next-gen improve for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

We assume CD Projekt Red will screen a launch date for these next-gen enhancements at some point of its REDstream on February 15 as an declaration tweet for the stream says: "So, choom, how 'bout a date? We'll communicate matters, y'recognise."

The REDstream takes place on February 15 at 3pm GMT / 7am PST / 10am EST (or February 16 at 2am AEDT).

CD Projekt Red hasn't confirmed the enhancements and upgrades we are able to expect from Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 and Xbox Series X (even though we count on the REDstream to exchange that), but we will make some knowledgeable guesses on what we may want to see. 

Right now, even as it would not completely take advantage of the energy within the most modern consoles, Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 60fps on Xbox Series X and PS5. As such, it's safe to assume that there can be a overall performance mode focused on 60fps covered inside the native PS5 and Xbox Series X versions.


It also appears reasonable that there'll be a visuals-centered mode, likely locking the framerate to 30fpsbut enabling higher-pleasant textures, decision or even ray-traced reflections.


Load times are already heavily reduced at the more moderen consoles thanks to the extremely-speedy SSDs, but by means of tapping further into the gadget, these load times have to be even further decreased.


There are also console-particular capabilities that might be introduced. For the Xbox Series /S version, we might see decreased controller latency. The PS5 model of the game could find interesting ways to take benefit of the DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
