Cyberpunk 2077 has been postponed to December 10. CD Projekt Red announced this on Twitter.
“The biggest challenge for us is to release the game on current-gen, next-gen and PC, which means we have to test nine different versions (Xbox One / X, compatibility with Series X / S, PS4 / Pro, compatibility with PS5 , PC and Stadia) … while working from home. ” says the developer.
“Since Cyberpunk 2077 has evolved into a next-gen game, we have to make sure everything works and runs smoothly. We know it sounds unrealistic to say we can make a difference in 21 days, but they really do.”
CD Projekt Red also explains why the game did go ‘gold’ recently. According to the developer, it means that the game is ‘ready, can be played and has all the content’. However, a ‘Day 0 patch’ is needed to refine the game, for which the original release date was too early.
