After more than a whole year (original release date was 10th Dec 2020) … Cyberpunk 2077 is now officially available for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Taken from Engadget … The long-awaited PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of Cyberpunk 2077 are out now. CD Projekt Red previously planned to release the upgrades last year, but delayed them until early 2022. Those who own the game on PS4 and Xbox One will get a free upgrade to the respective current-gen version.
Players can expect faster loading, dynamic scaling and other visual and technical upgrades. The PS5 version takes advantage of the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback, built-in speaker and adaptive trigger functions, as well as activity cards and 3D audio.
There are performance and ray-tracing modes on PS5 and Xbox Series X. In performance mode, the game will run in 4K at 60 frames per second with occasional, small framerate drops. You’ll get medium/half-res SSR (Screen Space Reflection) quality too. With ray-tracing on, the framerate will drop to 30 fps with SSR quality at high/half-res. On Xbox Series S, the game will run in 1440p at 30fps.
If there’s one thing I can tell you about this city – you either love it or wanna burn it.

The current-gen editions are arriving 14 months after Cyberpunk 2077‘s tumultuous debut. There were widespread reports of the game running poorly on PS4 and Xbox One at the outset, so much so that Sony yanked Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store. Sony and Microsoft both offered refunds to any player who wanted one. The game stayed off of Sony’s digital storefront for six months until CDPR whipped it into shape with a laundry list of bug fixes. Here’s hoping things go much more smoothly for PS5 and Series X/S players.
… Cyberpunk 2077 is currently 50 percent off on the PlayStation Store, Xbox store and GOG.
