During CD Projekt Red's latest quarterly investor report, President and joint-CEO Adam Kiciński confirmed the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of Cyberpunk 2077 will launch sometime in the first quarter of 2022. The new-gen versions of the sci-fi RPG were originally on track for a late 2021 rollout. However, in October, CD Projekt Red delayed the Cyberpunk 2077 upgrades to 2022. The Witcher 3's upgrades similarly received a push, with the studio tentatively attaching a Q2 2022 launch window to the news.
Following its disastrous release across all platforms in December 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 went on to receive a slew of post-launch updates meant to tackle performance issues, crashing bugs, and a series of other game-breaking and immersion-breaking glitches. The title is currently in a much better state overall, though many would argue it still has a long road ahead before meeting previously set expectations. CDPR thinks the experience will one day hit the mark, according to Adam Kiciński's statement in a recent interview wherein he expressed the studio's belief that Cyberpunk 2077 will be perceived positively.
In CD Projekt Red's Q3 2021 financial results, Kiciński divulged the company's ongoing commitment to the "next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077." He additionally reiterated past talking points about the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S iterations, namely that they remain on schedule for the first quarter of next year. If CDPR is able to hold to this promise, then, owners of the current-gen hardware should be able to dive into a native version of the Night City-set adventure by no later than March 31, 2022. Kiciński additionally reconfirmed The Witcher 3's new-gen update will go live on an unspecified date next year.
Kiciński's statement seems to suggest the studio is confident in its ability to deliver the Cyberpunk 2077 upgrade on time. That does not remove the possibility of another delay, however. For now, players would do well to temper expectations for the time being.
An ambitious take on Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk tabletop RPG, Cyberpunk 2077 drops players in Night City where corporations effectively control much of the city's inner workings. The studio plans to further build upon the experience in free DLC and paid story expansions, but such content releases were put on hold while developers focused their efforts on improving the core game. At the very least, the free DLC and other updates are slated to launch in 2022.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available now across Google Stadia, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms; new-gen upgrades for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S should arrive in early 2022.
