The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series updates for Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have been delayed to 2022.
Developer CD Projekt Red announced this yesterday. The team that oversees the development of both updates has recommended that the releases be postponed. “We apologize for the long wait, but we want to make sure it’s done right.”
The update for Cyberpunk 2077 will now be released sometime in Q1 2022, while the update for The Witcher 3 will be released sometime in Q2 2022. Both updates, which make the games look better and run on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, were actually planned for the end of this year.

The delay of the The Witcher 3 update is particularly surprising: earlier this week it appeared that PEGI had provided the new-gen version of the game with an age rating, which led many people to assume that the update was imminent.
