Even though developer CD Projekt RED has not announced any special PS5 or Xbox Series X version of Cyberpunk 2077, it is now clear that the game will be optimized for the next generation of consoles – at least for the Xbox Series X. from Microsoft. The makers have now admitted this in the course of announcing new technical details of the Xbox Series X.

Microsoft, in the person of Phil Spencer, once again focused on the compatibility of the platform, which will also play titles for Xbox One. CD Projekt RED has not yet announced a special next-gen version of the sci-fi hope bearer, but has announced an optimization for the new platform. In short: On the Xbox Series X you can expect a bored out version of the role-playing game for the Xbox One, also because Microsoft is focusing more on the cross-gen idea.

"The new technology enables you to buy a game once and to know that you are getting the right version of the game no matter which Xbox you play on – whether Xbox One or Xbox Series X," Microsoft said earlier Day. This primarily meant the new games from Xbox Game Studios, which are known to be available for Xbox One and Xbox Series X in the transition period.

Third-party developers can also make use of this feature and CD Projekt RED has now given rise to a particularly well-known studio. "Players should never be forced to buy a game twice or pay for upgrades. Cyberpunk 2077 owners of Xbox One will receive the Xbox Series X upgrade free of charge when it becomes available," the developers said twitter.

This confirms that Cyberpunk 2077 will also be optimized for Microsoft's next-gen console and will therefore be noticeably more opulent. It is not improbable that a corresponding upgrade is also planned on the PS5, but this is not officially confirmed at first.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on September 17th, 2020 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
