• CD Projekt Red revealed on Friday that Cyberpunk 2077 will be backwards compatible with PS5 and Xbox Series X on launch day, whether you buy a physical or digital copy.
• An upgraded version of Cyberpunk 2077 that takes advantage of the next-gen hardware will be released at a later date, but won't be ready this fall.

Unfortunately, the wait keeps getting longer, as CD Projekt Red has delayed the game twice. Originally, Cyberpunk 2077 was going to launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on April 16th, 2020, but at the beginning of this year, the team delayed it to September 17th in order to "make the game perfect." Then, this week, the studio returned with another update, announcing that the release date was being moved back again, this time to November 19th.
