Cyberpunk 2077 is for some a buggy mess, and for others, completely unplayable. Developer CD Projekt Red has already promised fixes and a next-gen console update, but has now revealed exactly when we should expect them to arrive.
CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin Iwiński has released a video outlining what fans can expect from Cyberpunk 2077 over the course of 2021, apologizing for the poor performance on the PS4 and Xbox One consoles.
The game has already received a series of revisions to solve the most pressing problems, but Iwiński promises that it will not stop there. Several patches, both large and small, are in the works, and the first landing will take just 10 days. A larger and more meaningful update will follow soon after.
The corrections also mean delays in CDPR’s original plan for Free DLC. The developer initially had plans to start releasing it right after launch, as was the case with the Witcher 3. Instead, fixes have taken precedence, and free DLC is on the back burner for now. Iwiński promised that more information will be available “in the coming months.”
As for PS5 and Xbox Series X players, their next-gen update will arrive in the second half of the year. While we never knew exactly when Cyberpunk 2077 would get its proper next-gen release, it wouldn’t be a surprise if it was also delayed in the wake of the game’s disastrous launch.
We already know that a multiplayer mode is also in the works, but since CDPR has kept the details under wraps, there isn’t much we can say about it. With that said, data miners have discovered some multiplayer code, showing at least two different game modes (Heist and Deathmatch) plus the possibility of P2P connections rather than routing everything through a dedicated multiplayer server.
While we lack some of the details, it’s clear that Cyberpunk 2077 still has a long way to go this year. We hope that performance and game bugs will be fixed sooner rather than later.
