However, the Polish game developer CD Projekt Red said that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remain on track for release later this year. With this being said, the studio left open some wiggle room and admitted that, while the plan is to release the above-mentioned games this year, they could not guarantee it.

CD Project Red wants to keep 2021 deadline

Through the latest earning report, CD Projekt Red said Cyberpunk 2077’s target date for next-gen consoles is late 2021. And, as for The Witcher, the Polish studio gave the same date, along with the same description that this is a target as opposed to a date that is set in stone. This is the wiggle room we were mentioning at the beginning of this article. The game developer’s business boss Michal Nowakowski said that Cyberpunk 2077’s future version could actually slip to 2022. The Witcher 3’s next-generation console edition is developed by Saber Interactive, and scheduled for 2021. Before you get all excited, know that, same as Cyberpunk 2077, this game could also be moved to a 2022 release. Having this game optimized for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 would be great because even if it was first launched in May of 2015, this is one of the classics that will never die. Keep in mind that both games will be free for people who already purchased Cyberpunk 2077 or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Cyberpunk 2077’s promised PS5/Xbox Series X|S edition will take advantage of the additional horsepower of those systems to make the game look and run even better. The same applies to The Witcher 3, which will also come with all previously released expansions, as well as new content inspired by Netflix’s popular Witcher TV show. So, all we can do now is keep our fingers crossed and hope that game developers have worked hard and long enough to ensure that these awesome titles make it to the new consoles in time. Do you have Cyberpunk 2077 or Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt on your gaming device already? Let us know in the comments section below.
