Cyberpunk 2077 could finally get that Xbox Series X and PS5 update
Cyberpunk 2077 could finally go that Xbox Series X and PS5 update
Only over a yr ago, Cyberpunk 2077 was released in a truly sad land. The developer, CD Projekt Carmine, has since been working tirelessly to ready the numerous bugs and last-gen performance issues (with more success on the former than the latter), which means that those fortunate enough to pocketbook an Xbox Series Ten or PS5 have been left waiting for the truthful next-gen experience.
The original ambitious timeline published almost exactly a year ago by CD Projekt Crimson had the free next-gen update arriving in the 2nd half of 2021, but past September the developer was already admitting this was upwardly in the air.
Sure enough, 2022 rolled around with no news on the next-gen update — just it looks like there may finally be something to report on that front. In a press release confirming that said update would now arrive in the first quarter of 2022, the company said that it would arrive "aslope another major update for all platforms." (A subsequent report claims a patch will arrive in the mid-February to early March time frame.)
And eagle-eyed Reddit users accept spotted that the SteamDB entry for the game has been updated for the first time since October. While that could be a pocket-size patch ("stock-still font in the credits," jokes ane user), the hope is that this is the first sign of the "major update" which, if the press release was accurate, should coincide with the truthful next-gen console experience.
Better belatedly than never?
The big question is whether anybody actually cares at this point. Personally, I know a few people who tried playing it at launch and bounced off with the intention of coming dorsum after. Those people seem apathetic to the idea now. The new-game sheen is gone, even with the possibility of a scrap of adjacent-gen polish.
And while the game is, past all accounts, at present worth playing if you accept the right hardware, CD Projekt Crimson may well be regretting its generous offer of a gratuitous update to the PS5 and Xbox Series X version for buyers of the last-gen game.
A lot of buyers sought refunds on Cyberpunk 2077 (Sony famously pulled the game from its digital shop and still carries a operation alert at present it's been restored), and everyone now ownership the game for next-gen play will savor deal-basement prices due to the initial backlash.
Good news for gamers, but undoubtedly worse for the company's already disgruntled investors.
